From cutting-edge animation studio Lex + Otis and with music composed by Gareth Coker (Ori and the Will of the Wisps), ARK: The Animated Series chronicles the story of a mysterious primeval land populated by dinosaurs and other extinct creatures, where people from throughout human history have been resurrected. When 21st century Australian paleontologist Helena Walker awakes on the ARK after tragedy, she must learn to survive and find new allies, or die again at the hands of ruthless warlords, all while trying to uncover the true nature of their strange new world.
ARK fans will recognise many aspects of the lore and witness new depth and development to familiar characters.
Man, they make PvP look a lot more exciting than it is ingame
They need more realistic scenes of it. Her out gathering berries on a trike, then some level 90+ guy with his entire army of armored rexs come and gank her and beat down her wooden hut while typing 'EZ' into chat.

Don't need to anymore, gamers by any shit just look at anything by dean rocket hall or star citizen. This is a smart move really, the big money is in merchandise, Fortnite and Minecraft etc. Once the dollars come to a trickle slap 1.0 and launch Ark 3 on FIG and Kickstarter..
If Uwe Boll decided to create animated movies, this would be it. I guess it's easy money for the actors that only need to sit in a booth for a bunch of hours reading from a script and see their pay in a bank account (while lending their names for PR reasons).
