ARK: Survival Evolved is a multiplayer survival game that has garnered a massive following since its initial Early Access release in 2015. Players find themselves stranded on an island filled with dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals, tasked with building shelters, crafting tools, taming wildlife, and teaming up with or competing against other players. The game's focus on survival mechanics within a dinosaur-populated world has contributed to its long-standing popularity, leading to the development of additional content, spin-offs, and now an animated series that deepens the lore of the ARK universe.
