Before the battle royale mania, there was a time when everyone wanted to have their own survival game. What began as an
ARMA II mod (also known as
DayZ) quickly became the most popular new subgenre with fresh titles launching weekly, like
Rust, Metal Gear: Survive, and many more. While most of them failed to capture players' imagination,
ARK: Survival Evolved has managed to gain ground.
According to Studio Wildcard,
Extinction is by far their most ambitious project yet, as the developer will take you back to where it all started, on Earth itself. In
Extinction, the ravaged planet is filled with fantastical creatures both organic and technological, as Earth holds both the secrets of the past and the keys to its salvation.
Extinction is the third major
ARK DLC, joining the desert-themed
Scorched Earth and the underground, derelict biome
Aberration.
Extinction gives you a chance to capture, tame and craft powerful and unusual organic and mechanical creature types different from anything previously seen in the
ARK universe. You can also increase situational awareness by flying and controlling robotic surveillance drones and reach new heights. Let's hope
ARK reaches new heights with
Extinction, as you can check out its launch trailer down below:
As a man or woman stranded naked, freezing and starving on the shores of a mysterious island called ARK, you must hunt, harvest resources, craft items, grow crops, research technologies, and build shelters to withstand the elements. Use your cunning and resources to kill or tame & breed the leviathan dinosaurs and other primeval creatures roaming the land, and team up with or prey on hundreds of other players to survive, dominate... and escape!
ARK: Extinction is available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam NOW!
