The virtual reality game ARK Park has a release month: it is set to launch for PSVR in December 2017.
Some time ago, the Chinese developer Snail Games established business relations with Studio Wildcard, the US developers of “ARK Survival Evolved.” The exact nature of these business relations is not entirely clear. For example, it is uncertain whether they only own shares or the whole company.
There was an expensive legal dispute, and Snail Games apparently helped the ARK studio out of a tough situation; otherwise, they might have gone bankrupt – but all of this happened behind closed doors and is quite complicated. The exact sequence of events is not clear.

In any case, the Chinese developer Snail Games has since been developing 5 projects related to ARK and dinosaurs. They are creating a free-to-play version of ARK for the Asian market, a Minecraft-ARK, a Pokemon-GO-ARK, a fantasy-ARK with dragons (that’s Dark and Light) and also ARK Park. And that is now slowly ready for release.
ARK Park – Dinosaurs to Touch Virtually
ARK Park is a kind of “Jurassic Park in virtual reality.” It is quite close to the question: “What if we could really visit a Jurassic Park? What would that be like?”
The game ARK Park is set to be released this December for PlayStation VR. Snail Games announced this at a gaming convention in Tokyo.
- ARK Park will be released in December for PlayStation VR.
- It can be played with the controller or PlayStation Move.
- Supported languages are Chinese, English, and Japanese with voiceover and subtitles.
- ARK Park is also expected to have online features.
- there will be 10 maps
- in a kind of puzzle system, players will be able to craft and discover things – but there is also a combat mode, as seen in the teaser
We have been following ARK Park. It is mainly about observing impressive dinosaurs and interacting with them. In its initial presentation at the end of 2016, it sounded more like a cuddly park, but in recent months, action and shooting have been prominently featured:
