ARK Park Releases
March 22, in the year of our Lord 2018 --
Snail Games announced the release of its multiplayer adventure
ARK Park on all major VR gaming platforms. Based on Studio
Wildcard’s controversial ARK: Survival Evolved, ARK Park allows
VR users and their friends to interact with more than 100
dinosaurs rendered in stunning detail across 6 massive
environments.
In ARK Park, your headset of choice allows you to experience a
series of mind-blowing VR-driven theme-park attractions built on
top of a variety of biomes – each with distinct weather
patterns, vegetation, and terrain. Designed from the ground up
as a realistic dinosaur theme park simulation, the game allows
you to freely traverse the grounds without any restrictions
whatsoever. There’s no set plot or schedule to follow: Choose
how and where to go next at all times – surveying the
prehistoric park at your own pace. You can even join your
friends in multiplayer “park tours” to share the thrill of
getting up close and personal with living, breathing dinosaurs!
Tianqi Wu (Vice President, Snail Games):
“After many years in development, we can safely say that VR is
starting to mature as a technology. The potential for very
personal, eye-opening experiences is there – and I believe that
ARK Park may be one of the first games to fully deliver on that
promise. ARK Park is launching with hundreds of
exquisitely-detailed dinosaurs, 6 awe-inspiring park
attractions, and gameplay choices ranging from pure exploration
and crafting to dinosaur breeding and combat. We can’t wait to
welcome both ARK: Survival Evolved veterans and VR novices from
all corners of the world into this new and exciting addition to
the ARK franchise.”
Featuring a real-time day and night cycle, ARK Park’s time of
day mechanic includes day, evening, night, and dawn. Both biomes
and creatures are affected, which means that some dinosaurs may
only appear at specific times. There are more than 50 different
species in the game; you can interact, tame, or even fend them
off! When exploring the wilderness, use a gene scanner to
collect gene fragments from prehistoric life forms. A
combination of puzzle-solving, exploration, and careful resource
management skills is a must if you intend to capture the most
prized animals. Gene fragments unlock blueprints, which can be
used to craft tools, lures, items, and weapons; they also reveal
detailed information about each species.
What’s better than walking among dinosaurs? Being driven on a
rugged off-road vehicle ... or riding your very own pet dino!
Take the Crystal Shuttle and go on an amazing ride across the
park and nearby ocean. The Jeep will carry you through the
perilous Sequoia Rainforest – but be ready for a very talkative
driver. Finally, after raising a dinosaur to adulthood, you can
tame and ride it. Are you ready for an unforgettable trail
excursion on the back of your Dinosaur Mount?
