Stranded on the shore of a mysterious island, you must learn to survive.

Use your cunning to eliminate or tame the primitive creatures that roam the land and team up with other players to survive, dominate... and escape!

Tame, train, raise and ride dinosaurs in a living ecosystem.

Over 80 creatures can be tamed using a challenging process of submission and protection.



Characteristics:

- Weaken a wild creature to ground it, then nurse it back to health.
- Once tamed, you can issue commands to your pet, which it can follow depending on how well you've tamed and trained it.
- Pets continue to level up and consume food, and carry Inventory and Equipment.
- Eat and drink to survive, with different foods having different nutritional values.
- All actions consume food and water, and long distance travel is consuming. Inventory weight slows you down, and the day/night cycle and weather alter the environment.



- Craft clothes, build shelters and use fire to protect yourself from damage and the elements.
- Collect trees, ores and more to become a master craftsman. Use your hands, a Smithy or a Fabricator to create increasingly complex and powerful tools.
- Build a massive base using modular parts - from straw, to wood, to stone, to metal. Customize your base by painting it and placing signs you can actually draw on.
- Weapons, clothing and armor equipment can also be painted to express your own visual style.
- Bring rare items to special Summon locations to awaken the mythical creatures of ARK, which arrive ready for battle.
