In what was either the best or worst trailer to feature at this year’s Game Awards (I’m still very much undecided on the matter), Studio Wildcard has unveiled Ark 2, the sequel to its dinosaur-themed multiplayer survival game. Oh, and an animated TV spin-off starring an absurdly over-qualified cast is coming too.<\/p>\n

Ark 2’s extraordinarily drawn-out reveal trailer featured – in the most hilarious double-take moment of the night – Vin Diesel, in the role of someone named Santiago, prowling the jungle with his tribe chums, battling weird cat people, and sidestepping the odd T. rex. It was all presented with the air of a narrative-driven single-player adventure, which is rather at odds with Ark as we currently know it, so hopefully Wildcard will explain how Vin Diesel fits into it all soon. <\/p>\n

There isn’t much more to report on the Ark 2 front at the moment, but Wildcard’s second surprise of the night arrived in the form of Ark: The Animated Series.<\/p>\n
