Those who like Ark: Survival Evolved will also get to buy the game’s Scorched Earth, Aberration, and Extinction expansions, as well as its season, pass on the Store, each with a launch discount of 50 percent.

The game was first introduced in 2015 as a Steam Early Access title. It was eventually made available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Switch.

It takes players in a mysterious island that hosts primeval creatures which they can kill or tame by using and upgrading skills.

Ark was initially focused on dinosaur taming, base building and survival meter management. Later, Wildcard upped the sci-fi and fantasy elements.

This year, Wildcard is celebrating Ark’s fifth anniversary by introducing a number of in-game activities and additions.
