ARK: Survival Evolved: Explore a vast world, craft, build, and team up with other players in this epic dinosaur survival game reimagined with Unreal Engine 5!

101 Creatures. 9 Biomes. 372 Engrams.

Your Mission: Hunt, harvest, craft, and build to survive the elements and other players. Explore and discover dinosaurs and many other species on the ground, up to the sky, and down the water.

Ready for a Face-to-face with Primeval Dinosaurs!

- Dinosaur Hunt Guide: First, lock onto your target, make an ambush, and knock it out. To hit it unconsciously, use a torpor-inflicting weapon (such as tranq arrows, tranq darts, a Pulmonoscorpius, or even your fists).

- Tame & train dinosaurs: Train dinosaurs and make them your ultimate weapon! Once tamed dinosaurs, you can try to issue commands, level them up, and equip them with armor and gears.

- Breed baby dinosaurs: Witness the magical dinosaur breeding process with your own eyes! Feed it lizards, turtles, bird eggs, or early mammals, and grow your dinosaurs strong! There's a trait system designed in-game based on genetic inheritance, including both egg-based incubation and mammalian gestation. Follow the system instructions and you will get young generations of dinosaurs successfully!

- Ride on dinosaurs: Enjoy being the new alpha of your dinosaur team, dino rider! In ARK: Survival Evolved, you will fly Pterodactyls over mountains or lead Raptor packs through the jungle!

Various species live in the ARK: Survival Evolved world, up to the sky, down to the ground, and even deep in the seawater. Go diving underwater and if you are lucky, you may see 10-metre-long colossal squid. Deep in the cave underground hides a dangerous and deadly creature - a scary giant spider.

Survive Hunger, Thirst, and Enemy Attacks

- Eat and drink to stay alive, considering the varying nutritional properties of different plants and meats (including human meat!).

- Secure a fresh water supply and be mindful of the cost of physical actions.

- Inventory weight affects your movement, and the day/night cycle and randomized weather patterns alter the environment's temperature, influencing hunger and thirst.

- Build fires and shelters, and craft customizable clothing and armor for protection against damage and extreme temperatures.

Build, Paint, and Reinforce Your Shelter

- Chop down forests and mine precious resources to craft complex snap-linked structures.

- Build ramps, beams, pillars, windows, doors, gates, and more.

- Reinforce your buildings, as structures have a load system that causes them to collapse if support is destroyed.

- Customize your home with paint, signs, and decorative objects. Shelter reduces weather extremes and provides security for you and your stash.

Seek Seeds, Grow Plants, and Harvest Crop Food

- Pick seeds from wild vegetation, plant them in plots, and nurture them with fertilizer (everything poops and some fertilizer is better than others!).

- Tend to your crops to produce rare and delicious fruits, used in cooking recipes and tonics.

- Explore to find the rarest plant seeds with the most powerful properties! Thrive as a vegetarian or vegan and conquer the ARK without violence.

Call God-Like Mythical Creatures to Fight for You

- Bring rare sacrificial items to special summon locations to attract the attention of the ARK's god-like mythical creatures.

- These gargantuan monstrosities are an end-game goal for experienced players and their armies of tames.

- Defeating them yields valuable progression items.

Form a Tribe and Dominate It as a Master

- Create a Tribe with friends, where all your tames are commanded by and allied to anyone in the Tribe.

- Respawn at your Tribe's home spawn points.

- Promote members to Tribe Admins to manage effectively.

- Share key items and passcodes to access your shared village!

RPG Statistics, Blueprints, and Explorer Notes

- All items are crafted from Blueprints with variable stats and qualities, requiring corresponding resources.

- Level up your player character and tames by gaining experience through actions. Learn new "Engrams" to craft Items from memory without blueprints.

- Customize your character's appearance.

- Find clues left by past Survivors in the form of collectible "Explorer Notes" to piece together the true nature and purpose of the ARK!

Hardcore Mechanics and Persistence

- Everything you craft has durability and wears out with use.

- Your character remains sleeping in the persistent world even when you leave the game. - Your inventory physically exists in the world and can be looted, so build up defenses, team up, or use tames to guard your stash. Death is permanent!

Structures Above-Ground, Below-Ground, and Underwater

- Discover procedurally randomized creatures and rare blueprints.

- Find Explorer Notes that detail the creatures and backstory of the ARK.

- Fully develop your in-game ARK map through exploration, write custom points of interest, and use a Compass or GPS to aid exploration with other players.

Large-World Persistence and Meta-Universe

- On 100+ player servers, your character, buildings, and tames stay in-game even when you leave.

- Travel your character and items between the network of ARKs by accessing Obelisks and uploading/downloading your data.

- Explore a galaxy of ARKs, each slightly different, and leave your mark.

- Special official ARKs are unveiled for limited-time themed events with limited-run items.

- Design or randomize your own unique 'Procedurally Generated ARKs' for infinite replayability.
