Dinosaur Petting Zoo Comes To VR With Ark Park

by Matt Bertz on Dec 15, 2016 at 09:16 AM

Jurassic Park aficionados who own the PSVR, HTC Vive, or Oculus Rift have a new petting zoo to visit in 2017. Created by Snail Games, Ark Park is a spin-off of the free-to-play title Ark: Survival Evolved that allows players to come face to face with some of the most menacing (and cute) beasts that used to walk the Earth. 

Park goers can venture out to several different biomes to see the dinosaurs in their natural habitats. You can explore on foot, ride a vehicle, or even ride some friendly dinosaurs. "Through crafting of Ark tools, lures, and weapons, visitors may collect Gene Cubes from the many dinosaurs and extinct creatures throughout the habitat, including more than 100 unique species," reads the announcement post on the PlayStation blog. You can also just snap pictures of these beasts if you prefer.

Ark: Survival Evolved and Ark: Scorched Earth owners can upload their creations to the petting zoo, as well. Look for the game sometime in 2017.
