About the game

Ark: Survival Evolved is an open-world action-adventure survival game where players awaken stranded on a mysterious island populated by dinosaurs, prehistoric creatures, and mythical beasts. Gameplay revolves around gathering resources, crafting tools and structures, and taming creatures that can be ridden or used for combat and transportation. The game supports both single-player and multiplayer modes, with multiplayer servers allowing players to form tribes and compete or cooperate. Several expansion packs add new maps and storylines, and the game spawned an animated series, a remaster in Unreal Engine 5 titled Ark: Survival Ascended, and a planned sequel.
