Ark 2 Announced With Vin Diesel

Okay. It’s Vin Diesel in Ark 2 as revealed at The Game Awards. Seriously.Ark 2 is a sequel to Ark: Survival Evolved, an action-adventure survival game where players must survive a hostile, prehistoric world filled with sci-fi technology.

The cinematic trailer for Ark 2 begins with a band of prehistoric travelers who are attacked by a giant dinosaur and then a hostile group of raiders. And Vin Diesel is in it, did I mention that?

In an absolutely gonzo turn, actor Vin Diesel of Fast and Furious fame is in Ark 2. It’s unclear if he will be the sole protagonist of Ark 2 or a character that players can interact with.

Ark will also be getting an animated series with a voice cast that includes Karl Urban, David Tennant, Michelle Yeoh, and Elliot Page.

IGN gave Ark: Survival Evolved a 7.7, praising its compelling survival gameplay but with a nice narrative frame.
