Not only that, but the animated series is also chockfull of A-list actors. Ark composer Gareth Coker will also write the music for the show. The animation studio behind the series is Lex + Otis, who are also working on an Army of the Dead spinoff anime with Zack Snyder.

Studio Wildcard co-created and produced the series together with director Jay Oliva (Batman: The Dark Knight Returns). Ark 2 modsĪrk: the Animated Series was announced alongside Ark 2, and will release in 2022. Plus, there's a PvE component too, where hostile Atarai will come looking for you on the backs of their own tamed creatures in order to drive you from their world. Materials will also affect the look of these items too. You'll also be able to craft weapons and tools from various modules to design their look and functionality, making for millions of possible combos. The choice whether to interact with them will then yield their own rewards and challenges. It's all set in a massive new alien environment, which will offer up dynamic world events that happen independently to what you're up to. It's also switching from first-person to third-person perspective, with "advanced character traversal mechanics", which includes sliding, swinging, free-climbing, mantling, parkour, and more. It will feature what Studio Wildcard is calling "Souls-like melee combat", where you can target-lock, block, dodge, pull off combos, staggers, and even special attacks. Originally, Ark 2 was set to be much like its predecessor, aka a 'sandbox survival experience' but things have changed somewhat. We are yet to see any direct Ark 2 gameplay, but developer Studio Wildcard has started to tease what we can expect.
