ARK: Survival Evolved
Bundles That Include This Product
Now updated to the latest version of Unreal Engine 4 with improved visuals, increased performance and tons of new content!
Stranded on the shores of a mysterious island, you must learn to
survive. Use your cunning to kill or tame the primeval creatures
roaming the land, and encounter other players to survive,
dominate... and escape!
TAME, TRAIN, BREED & RIDE DINOSAURS, IN A LIVING
ECOSYSTEM
Over 80 creatures can be tamed using a challenging subdue-&-
protect process. Weaken a feral creature to knock it out, and then
nursing it to health. Once tamed, you can issue commands to
your Pet, which it may follow depending on how well you’ve
tamed and trained it. Pets continue to level-up and consume
food, and carry Inventory and Equipment. Fly a Pteranodon over
the mountains, race through the jungle with a pack of Raptors, or
chase down prey on a T-Rex! Experience a dynamic ecosystem
with its own predator & prey hierarchies. Breed Pets through
successive generations to generate the best traits. Or put more
simply, breed & raise Dino Babies!
FOOD, WATER, TEMPERATURE AND WEATHER
Eat and drink to survive, with different foods having different
nutritional values (including human meat!). All actions drain food
and water, and long-distance travel is draining. Inventory weight
slows you down, and the day/night cycle and weather alter the
environment. Craft clothing, build shelter, and use fire to protect
yourself against damage & the elements.
HARVEST, CRAFT, AND PAINT ITEMS
Harvest trees, ore, and more to become a master crafter. Use your
hands, a Smithy, or a Fabricator to craft increasingly complex and
powerful gear. Build a massive base using modular pieces—
ranging from Thatch, to Wood, to Stone, to Metal. Customize your
base by painting it and placing signs that you can actually draw
on. Weapons, clothing, & armor gear can also be painted to
express your own visual style.
SUMMON THE ULTIMATE LIFE FORMS
Bring rare items to special Summon locations to awaken the
ARK’s mythical creatures, who arrive ready for battle. These
monstrosities provide an end-game goal for the most
experienced Tribes and their Pets, and yield valuable items if they
are defeated.
RPG STATISTICS
Level-Up your survivor by gaining experience through in-game
actions to learn new crafting Engrams, or find higher level item
Blueprints in the most dangerous parts of the ARK. Customize the
look of your character with a complex character creation system.
HARDCORE MECHANICS
Items have durability and wear out with use if not repaired. When
you leave the game, your character remains “sleeping” in the
persistent world. Your inventory also exists in the persistent world,
vulnerable to theft. Death means permanent loss, and you can
even enslave other players for your own purposes.
