ARK Park PSVR Retail Discs (Standard Edition) Now Available in North America, Europe & Australia

  LOS ANGELES – Oct. 30, 2018 – ARK Park, the dinosaur-themed multiplayer online adventure developed and published by Snail Games, will be available as a physical disc (Standard Edition) for the first time in North America, Europe, and Australia starting today. Built from the ground up as a VR title, ARK Park takes advantage of the world of Studio Wildcard’s ARK: Survival Evolved to deliver a stunning virtual reality experience to PSVR owners worldwide. Based on the foundation laid by ARK: Survival Evolved, ARK Park makes the most of the game’s massive prehistoric world – filling it with awe-inspiring dinosaurs, ancient creatures, and detailed environments that include tropical rainforests, grasslands, and mountain creeks. Players who purchase ARK Park will also get to enjoy the “Pterosaur Hill” DLC for free – which introduced the Crystal Sky, Mountain Lake, and Aviary maps. The Technology Behind ARK Park ARK Park’s state-of-the-art VR tech makes it easy for players to explore the game’s virtual word with plenty of visual, audio, and haptic feedback. The game leverages both Wwise’s ambisonics and VisiSonics’ RealSpace 3D Audio technology to capture extremely realistic ambient sounds that take immersion to its limits. Real-world scenes were accurately captured when building each environment – including trees, vegetation, rocks and terrain textures. Powered by Unreal Engine 4, this blend of real-life imagery and editable 3D assets allow the game to closely match reality – delivering some of the most natural-looking, refined VR visuals available today. Exploring the Park On top of the realistic prehistoric environments, ARK Park also provides players with fun, interactive multiplayer gameplay featuring exploration, collecting – and first-person combat in the action stages. As players first enter the park, they are led to the lobby by the robot Joey, who introduces the game’s many systems – starting with breeding and taming dinosaurs! Then, as a nearby Brainwave Tower suddenly goes offline, players must help Joey defend the park from wave after wave of rampaging dinos – securing some breathing room so the tower can be repaired. Sales Update ARK Park has sold incredibly well worldwide since its March release. The game was the third best-selling PSVR title in Japan, which prompted Snail Games to move forward with a physical release after repeated requests from the Japanese community. Also, ARK Park sold out in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia. A number of popular YouTubers and streamers have also featured the game – sharing their prehistoric adventures with millions of gamers online. Pricing & Availability The retail version of ARK Park PSVR will be priced at $39.99 / $49.99 CAD / £44.99 / €39.99/ $69.99 AUD (Standard Edition). Canadian retailers include EB Games, The Source, Amazon.ca, Walmart.ca, Best Buy, London Drugs, and Videotron. U.S. retailers include GameStop, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and Amazon.com.

ARK Park for PSVR updated with free locomotion and improved graphics: resolution boost, better anti-aliasing, and bloom lighting

  As promised, the PSVR version of ARK Park has now been updated. In addition to free locomotion (already available on Oculus Rift and HTC Vive), ARK Park PSVR’s graphics have been improved by 16% in the visual fidelity department – resulting in a more vivid (and realistic!) dinosaur world without compromising the frame rate. ARK Park Teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VsJZmRZrmM How was ARK Park upgraded? To give PSVR users a measurable improvement in fidelity, the developers experimented with an alternate rendering mode. The result was a small gain in resolution, more effective anti-aliasing, and a boost to bloom lighting as well. Snail Games also spent some extra time on particular maps to bring out the fine detail in each model and texture. More on Teleportation, Tutorials & Bug Fixes Those who stuck with the original teleportation method have nothing to fear: It remains an option and can be easily accessed in the system settings. On the other hand, the devs added a tutorial that explains the free movement option for new players or those starting on a new playthrough from scratch. What’s new:
  • Players are now directed to the tutorial/story mode.
  • Character creation interface and “fuzzy fonts” issues have been fixed.
  • Gatling Gun: added explanatory prompt.
Since the global launch on March 22, 2018, the physical version of ARK Park PSVR has been sold out in Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Malaysia. The number of servers has also doubled.

Snail Games Reveals the Future of the ARK Franchise at GDC

ARK Park and this week’s PixARK are the next two installments in the blockbuster ARK series

  LOS ANGELES – March 27, 2018 – Last Thursday, publisher and developer Snail Games hosted game industry thought leaders, media outlets, and VIPs at Jillian’s San Francisco to celebrate the global launch of ARK Park on SteamVR, PSVR, Oculus Rift, Viveport, and Windows Mixed Reality headsets. With more than 80 guests in attendance, the event put the spotlight on the future of the popular ARK franchise with its first VR release, ARK Park. Highlights from the event included a live demo of PixARK and a heartfelt video featuring Snail Games vice president Tianqi “Sky” Wu and a loving family’s struggle with autism. Event Photos: https://imgur.com/a/byP5S Sky’s Journey While ARK Park was in development, the team in charge received a very special request: A father from Eastbourne, UK – Craig Proctor – asked for a pre-release copy of the game to share with his autistic son, Jason (who happens to adore dinosaurs). Craig believed that being able to walk among those majestic creatures would lift Jason’s spirits and give him a whole new perspective on life. Snail Games was happy to oblige … and the result is captured in “ARK Park Makes Dreams Come True”: YouTube: https://youtu.be/b1D7E65gKbE “We take VR very seriously. What we have here is technology that can truly change the world,” says Tianqi “Sky” Wu, vice president at Snail Games. “It was my great pleasure to be able to make the trip to England – bringing with me a VR headset and a copy of ARK Park to show our newest and possibly youngest fan at eight years old. The love and affection I witnessed left a lasting impression on me – and seeing Jason play the game we worked so hard on filled my heart with joy.” The video was the centerpiece in a very busy afternoon at perennial GDC hangout Jillian’s San Francisco, which has just emerged from a stunning renovation. Snail Games director Peter Kang kicked things off with an in-depth presentation on ARK Park – and he also discussed upcoming downloadable content and feature updates currently in development. Peter was followed by Studio Wildcard co-founders Jeremy Stieglitz and Jesse Rapczak – who announced that ARK: Survival Evolved has sold over 13 million copies and then proceeded to give the audience a live demo of the ARK franchise’s newest installment, PixARK, where “Death by Velociraptor” was just around the corner. Jeremy and Jesse also made the “Dino Export” feature public for the first time, which allows ARK: Survival Evolved owners to export their dinosaurs to ARK Park. The appearance, color, and age of each dinosaur are all seamlessly synced  – allowing players to “meet” their loyal companions and check their stats face-to-face in virtual reality. More than 10 types of dinosaurs are currently supported on Oculus Rift and HTC Vive; support for PSVR is coming soon – with more “exportable” dino types in the works as well. Snail Games vice president Tianqi “Sky” Wu was next – showcasing the video of his trip to England. He was followed by art director Guohan Tan, who further explored the magical world of ARK Park through his unique take on the franchise. Peter Kang was back for closing comments. ARK Park – like the baby dinos in the game – is in its infancy. VR fans are now getting their first taste of this massive new addition to the ARK franchise,” says Peter Kang, director at Snail Games. “If you want more content in ARK Park, I can tell you one thing: It’s coming. This is an incredibly exciting time for us, and we can’t wait to show gamers what the future holds for them.” About ARK Park Based on Studio Wildcard’s best-selling ARK: Survival Evolved, ARK Park allows VR users – and their friends – to interact with more than 100 dinosaurs rendered in stunning detail across 6 massive environments.

We can’t wait to welcome both ARK: Survival Evolved veterans and VR novices from all corners of the world into this new and exciting addition to the ARK franchise.” Featuring a real-time day and night cycle, ARK Park’s time of day mechanic includes day, evening, night, and dawn. Both biomes and creatures are affected, which means that some dinosaurs may only appear at specific times. There are more than 50 different species in the game; you can interact, tame, or even fend them off! When exploring the wilderness, use a gene scanner to collect gene fragments from prehistoric life forms. A combination of puzzle-solving, exploration, and careful resource management skills is a must if you intend to capture the most prized animals. Gene fragments unlock blueprints, which can be used to craft tools, lures, items, and weapons; they also reveal detailed information about each species. What’s better than walking among dinosaurs? Being driven on a rugged off-road vehicle … or riding your very own pet dino! Take the Crystal Shuttle and go on an amazing ride across the park and nearby ocean. The Jeep will carry you through the perilous Sequoia Rainforest – but be ready for a very talkative driver. Finally, after raising a dinosaur to adulthood, you can tame and ride it. Are you ready for an unforgettable trail excursion on the back of your Dinosaur Mount? Key Features
  • Explore a variety of maps without a linear storyline.
  • Collect eggs and incubate them to raise your own little dinosaurs.
  • Find materials such as Dinosaur DNA and trade them to craft useful items and more powerful weapons.
  • Defend the park and its vital technology from rampaging dinosaurs across 6 gorgeous environments!
  • Revisit the dinosaurs from the popular title ARK: Survival Evolved.

Additional Highlights Dino Breeding Fulfill your dream of having a pet dinosaur within the Forest Trail. Incubate the eggs you collect, gather food to keep them fed, and watch them grow. You may also spray paint your dinosaur using the warpaint system from ARK: Survival Evolved. Incubation: First, obtain dinosaur eggs through various means – such as exploration or gifts. Then place the egg into the incubator to hatch it. Distinct types of eggs will require different times to hatch. Taming: To ensure that your baby dinos grow up to be healthy, you must check on them regularly. Use the control panel at the bottom right of the dinosaur’s cage to check their growth status and hunger. They will continue to grow even when you’re offline, so make sure they’re well fed! Exploration Tour distinctive primal environments solo or with a group of friends. These excursions can be relaxing and challenging at the same time. Step into tropical rainforests, snow-covered mountains, and expansive plains – along with the dinosaurs that call these habitats home! Crafting Items Using the integrated holographic crafting table in the Forest Trail, you can forge a variety of items – even weapons. (Why would you need a weapon at the park? You may soon find out…) If you unlock a blueprints using gene fragments, you can craft an item using the holographic crafting table. A holographic model will be displayed – along with the required material and quantity. If the requirements are met, just press the Craft button on the bottom right to begin crafting. Defending Brainwave Towers Brainwave Towers are used to inhibit dinosaurs from viewing humans as a threat – or worse … food. Occasionally, these towers will break down – and you may find yourself protect them from wave after wave of rampaging dinos! You and your friends must defend the base (and other humans) with custom-made weaponry – including a selection of melee and ranged weapons, along with other highly-effective combat items. Successfully completing a level will unlock the next one – and there are three difficulty levels corresponding to a different times: day, dusk and night. Swords, spears, pistols, scatterguns, and grenades will be available at launch. Multiplayer Gameplay Excursions are much easier to complete when players can brainstorm and search for secrets together. More difficult Hunting Maps require close collaboration and teamwork for best results! Pricing & Availability ARK Park is now available on HTC Vive (SteamVR and Viveport), PSVR, and Oculus Rift.
