In ARK, things are getting concrete: A release is aimed for next June, and in the meantime, they are introducing a chaotic dino.
Next Year on Consoles Too
Studio Wildcard has unveiled its future plans for ARK: Survival Evolved. Accordingly, the game is to be fully released in 10 months, in June 2016. From then on, not only players on Steam will be able to purchase the full version (currently, it is still in “Early Access”), but also owners of a PS4 or Xbox One will enjoy the complete dino survival experience. A preview version for Xbox One is set to launch this winter.
Until it finally happens, time in ARK certainly does not stand still. In the latest update, a new dinosaur has been added, the Doedicurus. Visually, it strongly resembles a turtle and definitely benefits from its shell: When it takes damage, it can retreat into its natural protection and become virtually invulnerable. However, it gets particularly funny when players tame the Doedicurus: When used as a mount, it can activate a special spherical form and roll through friends and foes like a bowling ball. This is reminiscent of Sonic – and just as much fun. Please do not ask how the rider fares during this.
