This new tame is the centerpiece of a $9.99 pack that marks a shift in how new creatures are being integrated into the UE5 remaster. While the community has been speculating on its utility since the initial reveal, we now have a firm date for when we can start taming these elusive creatures. If you've been looking to diversify your roster beyond the standard Island fauna, this is your first real shot at the new seasonal content.
Alongside the new creature, Wildcard is performing some necessary digital housekeeping. A selection of inactive official servers on The Island are scheduled for sunsetting on June 19, 2026. These servers will be renamed with a "SUNSET" prefix to clearly identify them. If your main base is on one of these legacy nodes, you have roughly a month to migrate your tames and loot or look into Nitrado's save file access options to preserve your progress.
For those currently grinding for resources or looking to power-level a new character, the official network is running a massive bonus event right now. Through May 11, players can take advantage of the following rates:
- Harvesting: 2x
- Taming: 4.5x
- Experience: 4.5x
- Breeding: 5x (including maturation and egg hatch speed)
These breeding rates are particularly potent for anyone trying to push their boss-fighting lineages forward before the Burrowbuck shakes up the meta. Whether you're preparing for the server migrations or just want to stock up on materials, this weekend is the time to put in the hours.
