Powered by Unreal Engine 4, Ark: Survival Evolved takes on the survival genre with a unique blend of emergent multiplayer cooperation and competition. Players awake naked and starving on the beach of a mysterious island among a herd of other confused humans. On ARK, they must then hunt, harvest, craft, research technology, and build shelters to protect against scorching days, freezing nights, volatile weather systems, dangerous wildlife, and potential enemies.

Use cunning strategy and tactics to tame and ride the many dinosaurs and other primeval creatures roaming the dynamic, persistent ecosystems across land, sea, air, and even underground. Build your character’s strengths and gain items, skills, and pet creatures using in-depth role-playing systems. Start a tribe with hundreds of other players to survive and dominate competing tribes...and ultimately discover the ARK’s true purpose.

Sleepless right into the Thanksgiving holidays, Studio Wildcard revealed today the “ARK: Turkey Trial” that gives ARK: Survival Evolved survivors the turkey-hunt of their lives! A limited time Thanksgiving event running from today, Wednesday, November 25 through Tuesday, December 1, the ARK: Turkey Trial throws survivors into a large-scale scavenger hunt to find and, yes, carve up rare “Super-Turkeys” unleashed across the ARK. Yes, Super ARK Dino Turkeys are a thing; don’t you want one?!

By harvesting sufficient Super Turkey Wishbones from these bloodthirsty, genetically-modified creatures, players can craft their very own stylish "Chieftain" Hat, or choose to summon the ‘god-like’ DodoRex creature to do their bidding for a limited period of time. So, go forth Survivors, and hunt down those Turkeys!

For gamers dying to play the most remarkable, large-scale and ambitious dinosaur game ever created, head to the Steam Autumn Sale where ARK: Survival Evolved is now on discounted at 40% off: Wednesday, November 25 through Tuesday, December 1.

Tame and ride one of 70-plus amazing dinosaurs and other prehistoric beasts, including gargantuan creatures on a scale never before seen in video games! Fly a Pterodactyl squadron over snow-capped mountains, race through the deep jungle with your pack of trained Raptors, tromp through a fortified enemy base along a convoy of gigantic Brontosaurus, or chase down prey on the back of a raging T-Rex. Players will quickly learn that dinosaurs aren’t the only dangerous creatures on the island. Other players are organizing rebel tribes to accumulate resources, experience, re-spawn points, and to construct sprawling villages and cities, with technology spanning the primitive stone-age to the modern electric-powered era and beyond. And they will fight to destroy anything they see as a threat.

Ark: Survival Evolved will include Oculus Rift VR/Morpheus support and a thorough integration of Steam community features such as Steam Economy and Steam Workshop for custom maps and mods. Players will also be able to host private/LAN servers, and have access to a custom-built version of the Unreal 4 Editor for creating mods. The world of ARK is designed to be player-oriented and ever-expanding!
