Ark 2 is happening, and it's happening with Vin Diesel

Well, that's a surprise. Ark 2 is a thing, and that thing is gonna have Vin Diesel in it.

The sequel to smash hit dino-survival game Ark: Survival Evolved was announced tonight at The Game Awards with an extended cinematic trailer (above) that featured dinosaurs, a cute little kid, and lots of Vin Diesel grunting. So much grunting!

We don't yet know when Ark 2 will be released (or if it'll be in Early Access like the original game), but according to Studio Wildcard we may get more information tomorrow morning.

That's not nearly all! An Ark animated series is coming in 2022, featuring a massive cast that includes Vin Diesel, Russel Crowe, Gerard Butler, David Tennant, Michelle Yeoh, Jeffrey Wright, Elliot Page, Karl Urban... the list goes on.

Here's the rest of the list. Alan Tudyk, Malcom McDowell, Madeleine Madden, Zahn McClarnon, Devery Jacobs, Juliet Mills, Ragga Ragnars, and Ron Yuan. Phew. That's a big cast. We'll update you with as much Vin Diesel news as we can find, as we find it.

Chris started playing PC games in the 1980s, started writing about them in the early 2000s, and (finally) started getting paid to write about them in the late 2000s. Following a few years as a regular freelancer, PC Gamer hired him in 2014, probably so he'd stop emailing them asking for more work. Chris has a love-hate relationship with survival games and an unhealthy fascination with the inner lives of NPCs. He's also a fan of offbeat simulation games, mods, and ignoring storylines in RPGs so he can make up his own.
