On PC, Xbox, and cloud devices
AnArk2 is in the mix now thanks tonew newsfrom a Microsoft showcase during “E3” week: so uh, look forward to it!
Here’s the spiel straight from Microsoft:
“Survive the past. Tame the future. Suddenly awakened on a primal world filled with dinosaurs and humans struggling for dominance, you must team-up with legendary heroes to confront powerful dark forces. Saddle up, and join the definitive next-gen survival experience withARK 2.”
And here are some core gameplay tenets:
“Suddenly awakened,” eh? Well here’s hoping there will be some sort of interesting twist in terms of lore to build upon the prior strategy foundation of the original. Sometimes survival games can be tough to get into if the hook isn’t strong enough, from multiple angles. I’ve fizzled out on various survival genre games for a ton of reasons, those included!
Although we don’t have much to go on at the moment,Arkseems to have done really well for itself, especially before the survival genre started to get a little more saturated. Now it arguably has more to prove, and we just have a cinematic right now.
Microsoft says it’ll be out on PC, Xbox consoles, and cloud devices next year. It is a timed console exclusive and will arrive on PlayStation platforms and Switch “at a later date.”
