#ARK SURVIVAL STORY SERIES#
"Ark: The Animated Series chronicles the story of a mysterious primeval land populated by dinosaurs and other extinct creatures, where people from throughout human history have been resurrected.
Here's the official synopsis from the trailer: If that wasn't enough excitement, Ark is also getting its own show simply called Ark: The Animated Series. Other Ark 2 info What else do we know about Ark 2? It sounds like crafting will be getting an overhaul, too: your weapons and tools will be built from "distinct modules" that can be combined to determine your gear's looks and function. That third-person gameplay will also feature "soulslike" melee combat, which Wildcard defines as "blocks, dodges, combos, staggers, special attacks." Third-person-only play is a pretty big departure from the original Ark, which allowed players to alternate between first-person and third-person perspectives. It'll feature "advanced character traversal mechanics like mantling, free-climbing, parkour, sliding, and swinging." Tarzan-tech, in other words. What changes are coming to Ark 2 gameplay?Īs described on its Steam page, Ark 2's gameplay will be third-person only. Maybe Vin Diesel's Santiago will be featured prominently in the lore, or maybe he'll be a vendor? For a game that's always been about the social interactions between actual players, throwing living, breathing fictional characters into the mix does raise questions. While the cinematic trailer certainly gives you the idea that Ark 2 will be about Vin Diesel's best efforts to not get eaten by dinosaurs, the official Ark Twitter account clarified that Ark 2 is indeed an online multiplayer sandbox.Īt least, that's what its willing to share at the moment. Presumably, that same planet is where Ark 2 takes place. It's a lot.Īt the end of the storyline delivered in chunks throughout Ark 1's DLCs, an Ark colony ship that'd left Earth for deep space jettisons its population of human survivors and genetic monstrosities onto an Earth-like planet. Those stations are where Ark 1 and its DLCs take place. According to his bio from the animated series trailer, Santiago is a "24th-century ‘Mek’-pilot, gearhead, & freedom-fighter." He's also got a little tribe in tow, who run into a bit of trouble when a band of creepy blue guys jumps them.īased on some cursory research, Vin Diesel's Santiago, is a clone of a figure from Ark 1 lore, described in his animated series trailer bio as a "24th-century ‘Mek’-pilot, gearhead, & freedom-fighter." Santiago factors into a prolonged saga of wars brought on by superscience materials and technological arms races, culminating in a ruined Earth that's orbited by biodome Ark space stations populated by dinosaurs, dragons, and sand worms. Ark 2 story and gameplay Who is Santiago, Vin Diesel's character?Īs we see in the cinematic, Vin Diesel's character Santiago appears to be wading through dino-infested forest alongside who might be his wife and daughter. It's hard to believe the final game will look quite this good when it releases, but it's nonetheless impressive. Studio Wildcard later said on Twitter that the trailer was made completely in-engine with real game assets. A follow-up to Survival Evolved, a game known for its big expansions, is surprising enough, but even crazier is that Ark 2 will star Vin Diesel. Out of nowhere Studio Wildcard dropped a 4-minute cinematic reveal trailer for Ark 2 back in 2020.
