ARK: Survival Evolved – Trailer: This is what the graphic update for T-Rex and Co. looks like
Ark: Survival Evolved ist a classic survival game at its core. Almost everything in the game world wants to get you: whether it’s an angry T-Rex, a hungry crocodile or a bored multiplayer player. For this you have to eat and drink regularly, otherwise you will quickly bless the temporal. You also build and improve your base to secure your loot.
But you can also tame the prehistoric animals and sometimes even ride them! And let’s be honest, who hasn’t always wanted to stroll through the world on a dinosaur? But now you can also meet mythical creatures, develop sci-fi weapons for you and your dinosaurs and much more.
A lot has happened here since the 2017 release. But it won’t be long before the second part will appear on the market! The sequel starring Vin Diesel will be released next year. You can watch the trailer here:
