Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition, a new iteration of the popular survival game, is launching on mobile devices! The release date is set for December 18th, hitting iOS and (hopefully) Android. This isn't just a simple port; Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition includes the base game and a massive five expansion packs: Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, and Genesis Parts 1 & 2.
If you're a fan of open-world survival games and haven't yet experienced the thrill of taming dinosaurs, this is your chance. Ark: Survival Evolved, the original game, helped define the genre by adding dinosaurs to the survival formula. Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition retains this core gameplay loop: you're stranded on a tropical island, battling both dinosaurs and other players, progressing from rudimentary tools to advanced weaponry and a powerful dinosaur army.
The sheer amount of content included is staggering, promising thousands of hours of gameplay according to developer Studio Wildcard. While performance on older devices remains to be seen, the inclusion of five expansion packs significantly expands the original experience.
