A new open-world dinosaur survival game called ARK: Survival Evolved is currently in the works for PS4 and Project Morpheus by Seattle-based developer, Studio Wildcard.
Powered by Unreal Engine 4, players will need to hunt, craft and harvest materials in order to survive after waking up naked on a mysterious island. As well as building shelters, researching technology and surviving the volatile weather, players will also have to fight and tame dinosaurs.
ARK: Survival Evolved is said to use an in-depth role-playing system where players have to evolve their character’s skills. They’ll also be the option to join a tribe with other online players and compete against other tribes, while searching for the truth about the ARK.
“ARK taps into the scale, size, and wildly unpredictable nature of the dinosaur eras like no other game before it, then pairs it with the wonders of exploration and technological discovery,” said Jesse Rapczak, co-founder and co-creative director, Studio Wildcard. “We’re particularly excited to bring ARK to consoles, as open-world survival gameplay is typically found solely in PC games.”
Some of the impressive features include:
– 60 dinosaurs
– Fly a Pterodactyl squadron
– Race through the jungle with trained Raptors
– Ride a T-Rex
– Construct Villages
– Accumulate resources
ARK: Survival Evolved will be released on PS4, Xbox One and Steam in 2016. It will feature Oculus Rift and Project Morpheus support. You can find out more on the PlayStation blog.
