ARK: Survival Evolved is currently one of the most popular survival sandbox video games, with a separate fanbase. The game takes players into a pre-historic era where dinosaurs and other dangerous creatures roam freely in the air, land, and water. Players must farm, mine, hunt, scavenge, build bases, join tribes, craft weapons and tools, meet their basic needs, and cope with extreme weather, besides fighting and taming dangerous creatures to "survive the ARK."

ARK: Survival Evolved has 12 official DLCs and several unofficial mod maps. Each DLC comes with new maps, themes, bosses, and sometimes even new tameable creatures. Some of these DLCs are connected to the main story, while others are standalone. It has all the right elements of a survival game, as players use various tactics to micromanage their way up to the top.

Studio Wildcard and millions of fans from around the world have come forward to create a great ARK community.

Runbow and Drone Racing League (DRL) are next in line, and will be available for free from September 29.
