Description
Survival of the Fittest is getting another shot. Studio Sirens is developing a new vision of ARK’s competitive survival experience, with improved mechanics, competitive matchmaking and metagame reward loops.
But will this approach give ARK players a reason to return? Today we’re looking at what’s officially announced, the community playtest and what this version needs to get right.
The announced playtest runs through November 4 and requires registration through FirstLook. It is under NDA: this video discusses public announcements, not private playtest information. A playtest is not a confirmed full release.
