In simplest terms, Eggcellent Adventure 6 looks like it's basically going to be a repeat of Eggcellent Adventure 5 with a slightly expanded roster of cosmetics. Given that Bunny Dodos and the Bunny Oviraptor are still invited to the party, it sounds like players will still be penning up Dodos to collect Bunny Eggs while leveraging the Oviraptor to get their fill of color-altering candy.

As for those new Chibis listed above, you'll have a chance at getting one of those by cracking open a Bunny Egg laid by a Bunny Dodo.

Especially for new ARKplayers, the philosophy behind Eggcellent Adventure is a bit easier compared to Love Evolved. Instead of having to level up to fish, you can start farming Easter cosmetics by seeking out the most basic creature in the entire game.

However, the skin selection is predictably lacking given that Wildcard is still hard at work trying to finish up Genesis Part 2 in time for its May 26 release. There's only one new emote and one new skin, which means those who've farmed through previous events have almost no reason to engage with this one. The five fresh Chibis are obviously a nice bonus, but few will actually go through the process of cracking dozens of eggs to actually get the one they want without using cheats.

We're impressed that Eggcellent Adventure 6 is still happening given Wildcard's delay-focused circumstances, but there's no hiding that this latest iteration appears to have far more filler than usual.

ARK: Survival Evolved is available now on PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, Switch, Mac and Linux.
