Stranded on a mysterious island as a naked man/woman freezing and hungry, you must hunt, gather, craft items, plant fruit and build a shelter to survive. Use skill and cunning to kill, hatch, and ride live dinosaurs and primeval creatures on ARK, and team up with hundreds of players or play locally!
The following features have been in the game since the Day 1 Early Access release. We have many more aspects and refinements planned for ongoing development. Here's what you can experience in ARK so far:
TAME, TRAIN, BREED AND RIDE DINOSAURS IN A LIVING ECOSYSTEM.
Rhyniognatha is an extinct genus of arthropods and is often considered the oldest flying insect. Named after the place where it was found, Rhynie in Scotland, and the Greek word "gnathos" (the pine).
It is said to add an original style of creature, using a species almost forgotten in ARK: Insects! It's also a way to make the sky more dangerous, even if you've already tamed a flying mount! Plus, once it's tamed, it becomes a mount in the endgame! This creature was suggested by Zichfried.
