Early Version Of Ark: Survival Evolved Coming To PS4 Next Week
Studio Wildcard has been working to bring its dino-survival game Ark: Survival Evolved over to the PlayStation 4, and it's finally close. How close? Does next week work for you?
Ark: Survivor's Pack includes the content from the still-in-development Survival Evolved and its Scorched Earth expansion, and it will be available December 6. The bundle is priced at $54.99, and it will also give you access to the game's updates as it approaches a proper spring 2017 release. In addition, PlayStation 4 players can get the bionic Giganotosaurus skin and a set of manticore armor.
If you're in North America and aren't quite ready to invest in both chunks of the game, you'll have to wait. In Europe, the base game and its expansion will be available separately, but they won't be available as standalone products here until spring.
Our Take
That's a tough skin to beat, as far as cosmetics go. Just don't bother asking why your character is still using spears if they're able to construct such an impressive technical marvel.
