Sydney, AUSTRALIA – 31st August, 2017 – Studio Wildcard’s highly acclaimed, multi-million selling dino-tastic survival game, ARK: Survival Evolved, is available now in stores for PlayStation®4 and Xbox One.

Since its launch into Steam’s early access program in June 2015, over 10 Million survivors have been stranded on the ARK island, wandering into an incredible land to discover how to tame, train, ride, and breed the 100+ dinosaurs and primaeval creatures roaming the land. Today the mysterious island reveals its true meaning to current players and new Island initiates!
The release brings brand-new content to the game including:

A huge and varied score brings to life every part of the game, be it the beach, the mountains, the jungles, the desert, the caves, the epic boss battles, and even the out-of-this-world science-fiction climax of ARK’s End Game.
– Ragnarok DLC: A free expansion map built by members of the ARK modding community, this huge map launched today for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One platforms! This 144 sq km island features expansive biomes and distinct creatures, including the Griffin with its unique dive-bomb attack!

– End Game Content: Hunt down the end boss, then conquer him with your fellow survivors and dino army!
– Two New Creatures:
● Otter – Found along the island’s many waterways, this friendly furry creature will ride on your shoulder, keep you warm, and is the only ARK creature able to harvest the coveted black pearls!
● Phoenix – Found only on the ARK Scorched Earth expansion pack, this mythological creature appears during extreme heat waves and if provoked sets targets ablaze with a single bite!
– Loads of bug fixes, along with quality and optimization changes for a smoother gameplay experience
