ARK: Genesis, a two-part expansion drop for ARK: Survival Evolved had some secrets revealed recently, after developer Studio Wildcard took part in a 24-hour livestream with community and ExtraLife -- a charity that uses the power of gaming to help children in need.

Part of the livestream were monetary milestones linked to reveals around Genesis, with the event finishing up raising over USD$91,000, a great deal more than the same event also run in 2018 which finished up raising USD$76,630 and 27 cents, for good measure. A great initiative overall, showcasing the power of games, and games communities when a common goal is concerned.

Here's what was released about ARK: Genisis (with links to each video teaser):
