Fans of the original Ark Survival Evolved can look forward to a similar but enhanced gameplay experience, with graphical and UI updates and all the extra content of the original game that has been added over the years.

For the uninitiated, Ark Survival is a solo or multiplayer dinosaur survival experience. Keep yourself fed and hydrated, and avoid being eaten as you progress up tech trees and craft ever more impressive gear and defenses. You’ll start with spears and a wooden hut but can progress right up to electricity, SCUBA gear, rocket launchers, and saddle up a T-Rex. 

Check out the official Ark Survival Ascended launch trailer below.
