More On: Ark Park

That was quick! I was just perusing the upcoming release list for PlayStation VR, and I saw that Snail Games' Ark Park VR is releasing this Thursday, March 27th. 

I am absolutely intrigued by this game/museum/experience, particularly the multiplayer aspects. I had first assumed that the multiplayer was limited to the wave shooter portion of the game, but it seems that players can explore the zoo-like dino theme park with friends as well. I would love to grab three copies of this title and explore the park with my two teenage sons. This is a very cool idea, and I'm excited to see how it plays out.

Here are some good tidbits from Ark Park's Steam page:

  • Explore the Expansive Scenery of ARK Park: Visit over 10 unique scenes alone or with a group of friends.
  • Collect Dinosaur DNA, Gather Materials, and Craft Items: Collect DNA and materials from the dinosaurs you encounter on your excursions, trade them for Engrams at your base camp, then use those Engrams to craft helpful items.
  • Raise Your Very Own Dinosaurs: During your excursions throughout the park, you may be lucky enough to collect a rare dino egg. Take good care of it until it hatches, and you’ll be able to raise your own dinosaurs from hatchlings to adulthood. Some dinos may even grow to be large enough to ride!
  • Defend Vital Technology: Dinosaurs aren’t the most docile creatures - band together with other ARK Park visitors to defend important research outposts and valuable technology from rampaging dinos!

Ark Park VR will release this Thursday, March 27th on the PlayStation VR, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Windows Mixed Reality.
