In December 2020, the Game Awards stage saw the world premiere of the Ark 2 announcement/reveal trailer. Studio Wildcard promises that we'll learn more about the character when he appears in the upcoming Ark: The Animated Series in 2022. For those unfamiliar with the overarching plot, Santiago is a clone of the ARK: Survival Evolved player-character Santiago da Costa. One thing we're looking forward to once Ark 2 releases is that Vin Diesel will play the hero character, Santiago. It's also possible that this game will have an early access period, just like the original ARK. With no other official information from the developers now, we suggest you don't hold your hopes up for a release until late 2023 at the earliest. Although there is no official release date yet, fans are excited to see Vin Diesel's portrayal of Santiago. This is likely due to the unexpected pandemic that took the world by storm and delayed many projects for companies worldwide. The release date for ARK 2 was initially set for 2022, but during the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase in 2022, it was announced that the game would be postponed to some time in 2023. I’m excited to see where this sci-fi ride takes us.At the time of writing, there is no official confirmed release date for ARK 2, but in this article, you’ll find all (if any) information that the developer shared, as well as some speculation from Ginx on when we could see it launch. But it seems like the reception of fans is pretty positive so far. Obviously, there’s a lot of aspects that are unclear about the game, including the actor’s role and how the gameplay will look. It’s still wild to me that Ark 2 is coming out and Vin Diesel is involved. But you'll find that even cheap gaming laptops will work for that, boasting 30-series GPUs. If I had to guess, I imagine that RTX 20-series CPUs will be necessary to efficiently run Ark 2. There are plenty of videos of people online hitting 60 fps on high settings at 1080p with 10-series GPUs for Ark: Survival Evolved. But any Ark player can tell you that there’s no way those specs can maintain the chaos that is Ark: Survival Evolved. In Ark: Survival Evolved, the minimum specs required only an Intel Core i5-2400 or AMD FX-8320 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GTX 670 2GB or AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB GPU. We don’t know much about Ark 2, let alone what it’ll take to actually run the game, but if Ark: Survival Evolved is any indication, you’ll need a beastly PC to run it at a respectable frame rate. We do know that Ark 2 will be powered by Unreal Engine 5. But we won’t know for sure until the next trailer drops. Ideally, there will be a more streamlined introduction to more advanced technology. However, Ark has taken on a completely different tone when I played it, so more than likely the new tone established in the beginning of Ark 2 will vastly deviate from the original. I was traumatized when I came back from a three-day break to find out that all of my dinosaurs had died of starvation after I spent so many hours capturing them. I just hope that Ark 2 chills out with some of the in-game timers. However, the first title started out in a similar fashion, so it’s entirely possible that Ark 2 is hitting the reset button and starting fresh before letting players have full-blown mecha-battles with monsters. It’s unclear what Ark 2 has in store for us, but the trailer made it look rather tame in comparison to the first game. Ark 2 gameplayĪrk has gotten pretty wild since I last played it, with the introduction to aliens, more robot dinosaurs, dragons, space combat, and David Tennant. It’s definitely not the move I was expecting from the small dinosaur game that launched in early access on Xbox back in 2017.Īt the very end of Ark: Survival Evolved, we see Vin Diesel's character leaving his pod and landing on a new world, which is presumably where Ark 2 takes place, but that’s all we know so far. If Ark 2 is going to stand out from its predecessor and establish itself as a AAA title, a fully fleshed out narrative with one of the most popular Hollywood actors would certainly do the trick. Regardless of the narrative, it looks like there are antagonistic humanoids in the game that look like monsters, which wasn’t the case in the first game, at least not when I played it. In the first game, you simply create a goofy-looking player-character. It could be that Vin Diesel plays an NPC in the open-world, or he might be a playable character. It’s unclear if there’s an overarching story to be had in Ark 2.
