ARK: Survival Ascended - [PlayStation 5]

Experience a new dinosaur survival experience beyond your wildest dreams... as ARK is rebuilt from the ground up with Unreal Engine 5, the next generation of video game technology! You awaken on a mysterious island, your senses overwhelmed by the blinding sunlight and vibrant colors reflecting off every surface around you, while the azure waters of a verdant island lap your bare feet. A deep roar echoes from the misty jungle, jolting you into action, and you stand—not afraid, but fascinated. Are you ready to form a tribe, tame and breed hundreds of species of dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures, explore, craft, build, and battle your way to the top of the food chain? Your new world awaits... Step through the looking glass and join it!
Features:
- ARK: Survival Ascended has completely recreated and redesigned the artwork and worlds of ARK to utilize the latest video game technology, Unreal Engine 5, and utilizes high-end graphics features such as fully dynamic Global Illumination ("Lumen") that realistically reflects light from surfaces and features realistic reflections, as well as advanced mesh streaming ("Nanite") of hundreds of millions of triangles for extreme detail.
- Advanced new physics systems like dynamic water, so every living thing creates ripples, splashes, and bubbles as it moves through liquids, and fully interactive physical foliage, where every blade of grass, bush, and tree reacts to characters, explosions, projectiles, and physics objects. Chop down a tree and watch it collide with other trees, kicking up all the foliage on its way down until it hits the grass below! Detect an enemy stealthily moving through the grass as it moves and sways in response to its presence. Demolish a building and watch the pieces realistically break apart and interact with the grass and water as they fall.
- ARK: Survival Ascended includes access to all ARK worlds, including Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, ARK Genesis Part 1, ARK Genesis Part 2, and more. The island is launching now, and subsequent expansion worlds will be added regularly at no additional cost.
- The ultimate survival experience returns better than ever: Design your survivor, form a tribe, and tame, train, breed, and ride dinosaurs in a living ecosystem. Monitor your food, water, temperature, and weather patterns. Slowly expand outward as you harvest, build structures, grow crops, customize your visual designs, and continue exploring to discover the true nature of the island and the worlds beyond.
- Major quality of life overhaul across the board: redesigned user interfaces, dynamic navigation for intelligent creature pathing, wild babies, photo mode, new camera systems, new map system, tracking system, new structures and items, new creatures, and much more.
