@fervent stag what do u mean not for me and I like ark for years
though tbf primal survival didn’t look that good, might just be my tastes tho
Primal Survival would’ve taken much less money to work on
i mean like play as the dino that sounds fun to me at least
What? It looked good
my own opinion, you are entitled to yours too
I think idk it’s been years since I’ve seen the trailer
@last jacinth It's not for the people who play the games, simple as that.
It's for people either interested in the Lore, or to draw in newer audience to the series.
It is simply not going to be for 'us' the Community, since well.....let's be honest here we're not the best of Communities.
Oh of course I’m just saying it looked good enough not the best but you know would’ve been new
I feel like there will be a lot of flashbacks
i love the game and the lore
I think the show is going to have a lot of ingame references, don’t worry.
that is assumed cause they have helena mom and wife and mei brother
hence to the bob character
yes^^
See this as a more entertaining, complete way to access Ark’s lore.
What is lore
baby don’t hurt me
the explorer notes
Ok
don’t hurt me
no more
u gotta read all of them they super good
I not good with words from up north
Yep
@last jacinth Lore is the term for a the Storytelling building up the the Main-Game.
Kind of like History is our 'Lore'
if i had to choose i would rather have tv show than ark 2
They should make a book series of all the exsplorers notes but the books are based off one survivor
Patch Notes?
Exsplorers notes
You mean Explorer Notes?
Patch Notes are just a list of the stuff the Dev's fixed, not anything to do with Lore.
u wouldnt get the full picture from just one perspective tho
I mean that’s true
I am still wondering how taming will work in the series
And how tribes will work in the series
itll prolly work the same they did explain taming method in explorer notes
I did not read the notes how did it describe it
@last jacinth Realistically.
Game the trust of a animal and it's domesticated for life.
basically u knowck out creature and feed it when it asleep
K
@twilit kayak That's gameplay though. That's not even close to being Canon
ya it is
thats literally how they explain it in the notes
its in mei's notes i think
They also never explained a Indian man on The Island nor any of these new characters.
So the notes are gonna be thrown out of the window when the series comes out
bruh just cause they didnt mention them doesnt mean they cant be there
I mean clue one the give fuck all cares about the lore is that Helena has a para now
you have to keep in mind they need to make a tv show its bound to be a little different
Then they wont make any major inpact in the already existing characters.
Cause if they did, they would of talked about them
Yeah and Helena never had a Parasaur.
The only creature she had was Athena, a Argy
and radar
She studied animals, not tame them like Mei-Yin.
So that's another thing that's new that the notes never explained.
i dont think its that big of a deal they gotta change it a little to make it into a tv show
How would....Replacing a Argy....With a Parasaur....make any diffrence for a TV show...
cause with an argy there is less danger she can just fly places instead of getting attacked by raptor
What if there is kids in the series
there arent any kids in ark except one that are born there
the youngest people there were college kids
Well they did show one in ark 2 if u want to see what I said go over ther
ya but that is different that is out of the ark system
In SE Rockwell helped deliver a baby
ya thats why i said only ones that are born there
Yeah I was just saying lol I’m pretty sure that’s the only child mentioned
ya
@last jacinth Their was a Baby in Scorched
Rlly
Rockwell killed it.
he killed whole village
Well yeah.
But most importantly the Baby
Cause he also 'just' helped the Mother give birth to the baby.
he brought it into this world and he took it right out
Like the Fucker he is.
i dont get why he would poison whole village cause he was tending to some of the sick and injured prisoners
"Oh, greetings a salutation baby. I have helped you get into this world.....And now i will proceed to YEET you out of this world."
lmao
He did it cause he cause he was a Ass.
I reread that notes, and he had no other motive of 'why' other then. "Experimentation"
I know I am wrong but was Rockwell the bad guy in genesis
well his main intention was to kill leader guy to escape
yes
I think the show is gonna remain as brutal as the notes.
i hope so
And y did they name it from the first book in the Bible
As Helena literally stabbed a guy in the throat.
so that cringy kids stay away
@last jacinth You're not though.
He was the Corrupted Master Controller in Genesis 1.
The leader was a bAd MaN or something
ya he was
no he took them out cause he took rockwell prisoner and when her heard that wife needed doctor he took that as opportunity to get close to him
Helana stabed him in the heart ur heart is in the middle of ur chest
@hollow holly He was, yes.
But after knowing them their really nice people.
And probably would of let him go scott free after he helped the Mother give birth. Since he also was the Guess of Honor in the Party they had for the Mother.
Oh well who wants them here anyways
@last jacinth Helena stabbed the guy in the trailer in the Throat.
Not in the Chest
but he was scared they would take his artifacts
can’t wait to see Rockwell go batshit mental in animated form
They already used the Artifacts to defeat the Manticore.
He just didn't want them to touch his Element
Idk I thought chest y’all say throat y’all must be right
@frosty dove godly prof pic nice job
no this was before he found helena and raia he stole the artifacts from obelisk worshippers
and then got captured by raiders
after they defeat manticore they go to ab the next day
I wanna watch this so bad lmao
That's all wrong my man. Let me re do it.
Does anyone know what app or how much it’s going to be
no
dude i am on the explorer notes page just trust
wait no nvm
he artifacts from worshippers gets captured tells leader about manticore and great rewards then they go slay then he poisons him and village
He woke up on Scorched to find a Cultist Tribe worshiping the Obelisks.
He stole their Artifacts and yeeted away.
Then he found another town but it was being raided by the Burning Phonix.
They take him as a prisoner, but he heals the other prisoners to get the Tribe Leaders attention.
He talks to the Tribe Leader and tries to talk him into doing the Manticore fight.
Tribe leader denies cause his wife is preggo.
Rockwell helps Preggo girl and Tribe Leader now likes Rockwell and helps him fight the Manticore.
Tribe Leader with now the fury of a Father montherfucking YEETS himself onto the Manticore and chops it's head.
Tribe celibates and has Rockwell as the Guess of Honor before Rockwell sneaks out and poisons them all.
ya
'dude i am on the explorer notes page just trust'
well i only got it slightly wrong but i can admit that
@south rose puto
I wonder how they'll make the Birthday scene in Extinction, for Santiago.
@young sage Go here with your Ark TV series.
Who here plans on watching ARK Animated series, and if so on which platform?
Yeah what's it gonna be on
I think Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Hulu, because some of the people who're working on the film have had their shows on all 3 platforms before
K thanks
any of you notice one of the characters names for the animated series? Karl Urban plays Bob, a recent square-jawed ARK arrival. <--- gonna be my fav lol
yes that my fav too
I love Karl Urban he’s a great actor tbh
what does he play in
Actually most of the names they got are good
He played in Thor ragnarok Amazon’s the boys and other shows I can’t think of at the moment
whod he play in thor
Scurge
ohh that guy
Anyone else here wondering in that trailer why she didn't just jump off the waterfall with her parasaur, then dismount right before she hit the ground so she wouldn't take any fall damage, hop back on, and keep going?
She was in god mode already
That’s how the parasour survived getting comped in the neck
The raptor wasn’t in god mode that’s why it died from 1 arrow
Helena probably uses aim bot
100%
.
There is a survivor who is of Apache descent on Scorched Earth. I suspect the series will cover the whole canon from the island to extinction.
As far as Helena having a parasaur is concerned it would make sense for her to have one as it is a beginner's tame but I don't expect it survive very long into the series. Athena the argy will probably fill the void left by the parasaur's tragic death.
Should also mention that it actually is canon for her to have a parasaur as she mentions in the parasaur dossier that she was gifted a saddle for her own parasaur.
The notes aren't going to be thrown out of the window at all???
I don't understand that logic. If we were to just go off the notes alone, that would not be enough for a fully fleshed-out animated story.
If anything, the notes are going to be HEAVILY focused on. It's much better than only referencing to the game alone IMO.
plus with the notes, there could've been notes lost over time or people that just didn't write their own notes, so this works for sure
I cant wait tell they animate aberration
i bet each ark is gonna be their own season
Yee
I can’t wait for the sad scene when Helena comes back to her base only to see everything’s destroyed, and everyone dead bc some dumb Therizino strayed to close too it
Makes sense
now is it gonna be on a specific website or anything guess well have to see
hope we get more teasers before 2022 cause im hyped
@frosty dove they're probably going to elaborate a bit more on the story using the notes as a guide.
Yeah, exactly. It's gonna be a much more fleshed out story with the notes being heavily referenced to
Will this be a YouTube series or an actual TV show?
Tv show I thought
Tv show
we don't know yet, but it's not wildcard producing the show. I would think it would be a tv show or a streaming show
what service will this be streaming on
so hyped
The art is good
I think the art is great
Yeah
There is a character who played by Karl Urban. The character's name is Bob.
I just can't imagine anyone else than Beach Bob.
Looking forward to this, depending on where it will be available ofc.
Yes
How do we get the animated skins. I’ve pressed everything
Watch the trailer
for ark 2?
I hope it’s on HULU
There are two trailers on the load in screen on steam at least. One is for the animated series that unlocks the raptor skin, and the one below it unlocks the spear and axe skins. Watch them both.@tiny perch
if the rest of the series is as good looking as the trailer, its going to be amazing!
Yeah
its gonna feel so weird seeing like herbivore island of the central cave in an anime im hyped to see stuff like that tho
I can finally binge watch and eat snacks while watching this...
I hadn't even considered that the areas might actually be from the base map
That would be cool
I got to wonder, how far will this story go
Like will this cover just the island, up to extinction or all the way up to gen 2
And will this be solely from Helena's view, or will be be constantly be switching between the diffrent explorers
prolly only up to extinction
Extinction is where the non PC cast ends @rough sigil so it makes sense to end it there as the Arks fall and maybe at the end of an episode show Genesis launching.
Thanks
I hope you all know some weirdo is gonna turn into porn
yea prolly @atomic scaffold but hope they dont bc itl ruin ark for me
Yeah same
lmao, if it exists, there shall always be porn of it
Yes there will be
Your best bet is to just try and avoid it. That stuff exists for everything but just remember it's not canon and such
Why isn't your range bigger
Because he is In a budget
judging by how the trailer begun, I doubt it would just be solely helenas view... however if it is, then it would probably be narrated by others, at the very least
لماذا أنت مثلي الجنس حتى إخوانه
@subtle abyss English only please
They should make an Animated Series about Ark featuring a ton of celebritys and actors. That would be fantastic
ikr
fr tho im hyped af for this. i hope if this does well itll mean we get to see a live action show or movie in the future that would by so cool
if anyone finds out what its being streamed on please dm me
I'd prefer if it was kept animated. Live action adaptations usually flop
That and animation is just more pleasing to look at, that and it's more fitting for ARK.
when is the first ep coming out?
they prob wont announce what platform its on until its more developed. from there they can show a rough finished version of the show to different companies like netflix or hulu and see if theyll pick it up. most shows on netflix r done like this unless its an original. or it might just be a web series but id imagine theyd wanna monetize it.
they should try and sell it to disney, they have a really good story and disney is disney so they can get any actor they want
Im sure disney would want a check to Jurassic World
did disney not say during their investors day that they bought an african company that existed to rival disney and explore different things, so disney just bought them
kinda pog if you think about it
lil more info on the animated series

n o
stop
ty
accompany
...
fr tho on topic
i read through that all and god i am so excited
makes me so happy that there's gonna be some heartfelt LGBT rep as well
i hope there'll be some more character concept art sprinkled around during its progress, because honestly even seeing the freaking dodo made my day
meiyin's p cool too i wont lie 👀 dodo best character though
also VERY interested in how Santiago is gonna be put into The Island's story, I was pretty surprised to see that he's gonna make an appearance there
I am the lore master, I speak for the Lore nerdz
I ask for their sake the question that has been burning
are dodos real?
how accurate of a retelling of ARK's story is this going to be?
yes dodos are real. look behind you.
I'd assume that it's going to be a pretty dang accurate, up-to-date lore retelling.
The trailer just caught me off guard.
Helena is open about being disgusted by the act of killing others
I feel as though her having to fight another survivor and kill them for self-defence would be fine. There's not much else she could do; she was in a pretty rough situation.
yeah, it's just the way it's told I think she would have brought up the time when she stabbed someone in the neck with an arrow.
I want to see more, want to see what this does.
and I am looking very forward to seeing Bob come to life
plus on the ARKs it's a pretty kill-or-be-killed world with PVP
smh helena shoulda just joined the PVE server
woah how'd you know
this ARK lore retelling is going to be superior because rockwell will actually ascend into the form of a dodo
shshhhh, don't spoil the end of gen part 2
the true ascension
There's Survivors. There's Homo Deus.
And then there's Dodos, the ultimate gods of the ARKs.
we see Helena go through quite a character development arc in the show and I think we made it all make sense, interested to see how players feel when they see it
How accurate? Quite, but with some changes/developments. We're very close to the characters too and wanted a balance of representing them faithfully whilst also crafting an engaging story
That's all I'll say for now, lore nerdz
character development make me go ooga booga pogger time
ok but dodo over seer when
yall are so lucky to be working on something so incredible, honest to god the ARK animated news made my year
Thank you. I needed that, and I am ok with some changes, just don't pull a clone wars and make the whole thing non-canon.
i so wanna draw some fanart for the series but at the same time i'm gonna hold my horses for more character sheet drops
same lmao hearing that we would be getting this animated series wss like my last ray of hope
these past few months have been absolutely excruciating so. hearing the news about this show has honestly brought me so much joy
odd how a silly little dinosaur game can mean so much to me 👀
ikr?? call me whatever u want but ive been watching thw animated series trailer like an endless cycle, I'm beyond excited, I love the part of the man saying "these are not my stars..." and u know the rest ;----;can't wait for 2022
god I've been the same for that and the Genesis 2 trailer, so much hype
literally same, im so so so excited!!! and btw where can I see that dodo everyone is talking about? was he in the trailer and I completely missed it?
I'll DM you a link
thank u so much!!!!
will the series be released on netflix?
we don't know if it will be on netflix
ok
and it is coming to wherever it is in 2022
we've got gen 2 to keep us entertained
The animated raptor skin also works on Tek Raptors. Doesn't look that bad in some of the areas, either. You do need an animated armor skin set. The player looks weird sitting on a cell shaded saddle on a cell shaded tame.
The images of striped-backed Anky are sweet. I've mostly seen that color combination on Therizinos and it has a nice 'desert camo' look. I also hope they remaster some of the sounds and can feed them back into the game.
Russel crowe's voice give me chills honestly couldnt have chosen a better cast for the ark characters. think by far the best one (aside from david tennant) is michelle yeoh as mei yin, sounds a bit older than i wouldve thought but gives off the beast queen vibe i was looking for
can’t agree more, this cast is insanely good
I tweeted Russell about his role and he ignored my tweet. Normally he will retweet praise for his work. Not sure why he is silent about this job.
I know, I haven't heard much from people who are also involved in the show
@oak brook Sorry to bother you. But will the Series answer some in-universe questions?
I know Marc stated that Transfering via the Obelisks is Canon, but is that how 'you' guys, Wildcard will make the story? And will you change anything of the story to make it more fitting?
she said that was the only thing she would say about the story for now
we'll just have to wait for more information
So will it go over all of helenas story fro. Island to ext
probably
I'd suggest just waiting for any more information to be released.
i saw some "smaller" name actors retweeting abt it but im sure theyll all be sharing more as we get closer to the release. Again dolly said they received early clips of dialogue so i doubt theres much to off of right now.
I don’t like the weird horse teeth the animated parasaur has
Hello, i was seeing the cast for the ark animated series and there's some characters who don't appear in the lore.
Also, since when helena has a wife?🤔 that must be exclusively for the animated series or she must has been her wife way before helena awaking up on the ark
Just a thought🌧️
i assume it would be memories, flashbacks and all
Yea the fact that we’ll see her mom and wife and Mei’s brother almost confirms it’s flash backs.
Arks getting an anime?
@crimson galleon looks like it
I wonder if all the people who will be voice acting, have ever played ark before
Yo question, how’d u get poglin gang?
Poglin gang is given to individuals who follow the rules in the discord (most importantly, speaking to others with respect) and who worship the great poglin 
But conversation here should pertain to ARK: The Animated Series
I hope in the series when few things get fucky, there will be a line from someone "y' know, just ARK things"
I wonder how and if the show will incorporate the Island’s bosses, and how. It’ll be really interesting to see a TV adaptation of ARK, since it’s such a complex game with so many different ways to play
It must be so difficult to create a single televised storyline for a game that’s so diverse in play styles
@clever crater slide poglin gang
I definitely think the mom will be a flashback
The wife I could see happening on the Ark proper
Were the past lives of the ark survivors real though?
Like are they real people taken from across time or are they just recreations with false memories?
Their memories are real, but they are clones of those people
Ah
I think the wife would be in flashbacks.
Is it all just another Lost?
No, because then it becomes Fallout but Godzilla
And even later it becomes Star Wars but Plague inc
🙂 hipe@is big
Can u not send links here ?
Cause I sent one and it got deleted
Look at the post ARKs twitter just retweeted
Anyways
the nerva and rockwell models are differently not what I imagined
I thought rockwell would look older and have white hair
And I feel like nerva's cloth looks "too primative"
What does everyone think of them?
I gotchu
Thx
i LOVE nerva's look
rockwell is a bit iffy, def gives off the mad scientist feel but ig i always pictured him with a beard maybe thats what is kinda off putting for me. still a great look tho
yea i feel he would be more evil kinda feel with a beard and being a bit older, just my opinion tho
@clever crater Animated rockwell doesn't look like the rockwell that we all know, it looks younger, also like @heavy zephyr said, he doesn't look like a mad scientist who experiment with survivors/creatures
Change is okay
Also, ark flashbacks only happen when a survivor is about to become an homodeus or is already one
Yeah I kind of expected Nerva to be in full Roman gear but then again everyone wakes up naked on the island
I like his look nonetheless
Rockwell's too actually. It kind of makes sense to make him become more disheveled over time
I mean, expanding the lore is great, but adding more is just weird
Are the homo deus the ones who built the arks? I can't remember off the top of my head
Yep
Are there any other character reveals for the series or just Nerva and Rockwell so far?
Yeah same
Helena and mei yin
I guess everyone imagined them the same way
i miss rockwell's beard 😔
it'll take me a bit to get used to but i'm liking it honestly
Tbh the characters look good but I'm wondering what the dinos will look like?, I want to see the giga or rex
some dinos have been shown off
Maybe this is 1 design of Rockwell. Maybe he gets a beard and longer hear over time
I think it was the anky and dodo that were shown
Rockwell was 20 or 40 years on the island right?
yeah he may become more and more dishevelled and unorganised
I miss the beard on Rockwell 😅 and I hope the same thing @glad jewel
he's described as being pretty old so over 40
So there is a hope for a beard! ;D
, rockwell looks like frollo
why does he look like frollo
wildcard,
lovechild of frollo and david tennant
So people who die on the ark do wake back up though don't they?
Isn't that talked about in the survivor notes? Like respawning is an actual thing
Wouldn't that kind of destroy the stakes?
a few people did respawn yes, but it wasnt until after helena ascended that anyone could respawn infinitely, before that it was a very rare occasion, i think the only recorded respawn not by helena was nerva
Oh so that is the in universe reason for why literally every player will respawn
yep
I am guessing that before that people did respawn still but it wasn't guaranteed to be the same ARK
Because there are like thousands of them
i dont think so, to get to another ark you had to ascend, but we dont really know what happened when they died... as they either died or as you said went to another ark, but i doubt that is the case
Didn't Helena and the others see clones of themselves in the inner workings of the aberrant ARK though?
not sure if it was aberration, but they did see clones of themselves yes
i think she talked about it on scorched, but saw it on the island
It will be interesting to see how TAS handles this stuff
yeah
now show us Bob
God dangit Bobby.
I can tell Bob is going to be one of those annoying characters
what is the show going to be on?
The story of Helena and a few other characters
I guess they are making all the explorer notes into a show
no i mean what streaming survise
We don't know yet
aww
As far as I know
ok thank you
I think it might be on HBO Max or something
I want an other trailer 
gonna be a long time before another trailer
I want to see some concept art of dinosaurs
ARKs twitter account retweeted some
Nah pretty sure he will be the most loved character in the whole show
Right after the dodos
Bruh
I wonder if they will tell the story of each ARK
season 1 (the island)
Season 2 (SE)
Season 3 (abb)
Season 4 (Extinction)
And idk maybe 2 more seasons for Genesis
Also I wonder if they will include the other abb survivors (the graduate students) that came after they finished the gateway project and left
Or that one girl that thought it was a dream and jumped off a cliff
Ooh I like that Trike one
@pliant briar u forgot val center and rag gatta tell the story for them too
But the question we have all been asking ourselves: Will everything in the show defecate every 30 seconds like in the game?
OMG yes pls tell that's gonna happen
There dinos poops while being chased
@spark heron The issue with that tough. Is that their not even Canon
That picture of Rockwell has Dr Who vibes 
Personally don't like it. Unless that's suppose to be Younger Rockwell
I don't like anime but I gave ark an eighth of my life so I'm going to check it out
Again, like i told Otter earlier. This isn't considered a Anime
yeah it aint an anime, but same here
To me it's anime, cartoon, whatever you want to call it I only watch live action
fair fair
Ah, that makes more sense
I'm currently watching the originals... Again. I love dramas I get too emotionally involved though
Lol
I thought your pfp was a ding beetle
You mean a 'Dung' beetle?
No, I love dnd I'm a fan of neverwinter nights, I do not like neverwinter nights online but I'm using an icon from the online version
Dude the guy in flak must be so fucking embarrassed
They lost to Helena on a parsaur wearing hide armor
how so
Not even same art style
I think it’s more like jarasicpark with a survival list vibe
I'm so excited for this
still mourning the loss of rockwell's beard
absolutely heartbroken. he absorbed davie tennant's power and became him
Yeah just hopefully I will get a streaming app for it
Goat
his beard loss was actually a nerf
rockwell's beard was far too powerful so wildcard had to nerf it to make sure he wasn't OP in the final cut
I cant wait to see rockwell become the way he did on aberration, or just the entire aberration as a whole
I hope they make more seasons to go that far ;3
Has anyone stated if its 30 minute or 1 hour episodes yet?
It'd be really costly to get 1 hour animated episodes so id imagine its 30 minutes but thats just me assuming
I imagine we will see him grow his beard over the course of the series
As he becomes more deranged and obsessed
oh no. Nerva is too hot
So wait does Nerva wake up on the ARK with a legion or does he start a tribe with unrelated survivors?
@gentle warren He starts on The Island by himself, and starts to enslave people into his Army.
Ah
he didnt start off by enslaving people. He convinced them that they needed order for safety he could lead them
then he gave them the Discipline
I feel like the animated series would only focus on The Island to Extinction after all it is Helena's story she is the protagonist
although a sequel which follows the survivors story would be cool but idk how that'll be portrayed since the survivor is sort of a self insert
Yeah that's what I mean
I love Rockwell's and Nerva's models the most
I can't wait to see how they'll show his transformation into a tentacle monster
I love all the models.
It's just that nerva and rockwell aren't how I Imagined them to look like.
I will probs get used to it though
idk I'd say Rockwell is pretty accurate
at least that's how I would imagine him looking
he does look a bit young but that's probably because of the animation and he was 40 by time he arrived on the island so... I'd say its fine
I always imagined him older with a beared and white hair
I mean my dad is 40 and he doesn't look that old
although he was a 19th century scientist so maybe they looked older back then
I feel like rockwell needs to be older same cloth
And nerva should stay the same age just more roman or modern cloth
But who knows maybe there looks will change as the series progresses
Yeah Nerva looks older and I don't think that's accurate
I would've imagined Nerva to be younger than rockwell in both appearance and age
Yeah
pretty sure he was in age(if we're counting their current age and not the timeline they originated from)
Yeah
Rockwell Even said a couple of. Times that he was old and that his age wasn't helping him
But nerva just spawned and started taking over the island
I mean Nerva's character has the warrior look and design but he just seems too old
Nerva would've been late twenty's or thirties at best
Yeah that's exactly what i think
Yes I think they should be added as skins just like the raptor
Especially the saber
I agree I'm fine with just having dino skins but imagine if they added in the animated pike and sword
then again if they went to that extent they might as well make a cartoon version of ARK :P
Lol that would be hilarious
Imagine if they added it as graphics settings
It would still look better than low or medium :D
inb4 someone makes a mod that turns everything into the cartoon version
If a mod like that were to happen it'll probably be a thing in ARK 2 only
If there is modding allowed
I hope I mean WC does support map makers and creators so I'm not doubtful
Me too, it just that I don’t know how it would fit into the new ultra realistic ark 2
Or it might not be, who knows?
I mean I don't think we'll get modding on day 1 until they release the dev kit for ark 2
Yea
that's fine with me honestly aslong as the game is on bloody steam
I 100% agree
gotta track those hours somehow :P and it would annoy me if I have the first ark on steam but not ark 2?
If it’s not well then I’m not going to play it
it just wouldn't fit with my libary
I'm thinking it will but we might have to wait longer because I think it will be xbox series x and microsoft store for a while
I probably won't watch any gameplay of it but the story definitely I will look up on that
Tbh I kinda happy that it’s not coming to ps
I mean it will at some point
Because they have a lot of ps exclusive games
I think it will be close to when the game is releasing or in 2023 for it to release on PS
I also have a feeling ARK 2 will release in EA around the time the new Jurassic World movie releases
I think it will
Because ark released when Jurassic world did, that spiked its popularity
yeah
Well before Jurassic world
that's what I was thinking
The animated series we know is coming in 2022, so they both might kickstart ark 2
I get to watch both of them and play ARK 2 in the same year that's a win for me
same
Hell yea
Also would love to see more animated skins for ark creatures, like for spino and Sabre
yeah if the devs don't add that mod makers 100% might
Most likely
although idk if the devs will release anything related to the textures for the animated series creatures
i want to see a wyvern in the animated series

yeah I know but I mean the actual models in the dev kit or something
like a file or something containing the animated series creatures
And a reaper
i wonder what island there basing it on
Well apparently the animated series is going to be 30 minutes per episode and 14 episodes with 2 seasons
so I'm thinking maybe we'll see only the island and scorched
dang
they would get a lot more views with extinction
Or aberration
ya
I really want to see Aberration so badly in the animated series
its my favourite map I'd love to see a cartoon drake as well
I want to see them fight the broodmother. GIANT ENEMY SPIDER
yes the boss fights will be Amasing
I think extinction would be cool because seeing the kaijus animated would be nice
I wanna see Rockwell become corrupted
In the lore of ARK I'm pretty sure Helena and Mei-yin fought the megapithecus and could bring a giga into the arena(using cheats :P) and Nerva/Rockwell fought the dragon and the broodmother
And the kaijus we haven’t seen
I'm thinking they would just add tons of desert, forest and ice titans
Yep
Booo
I doubt they'll be new kaijus although that would be cool
but it wouldn't make sense to the lore since that's what the animated series is following technically
I want the fight between the megapthicus and giga to be like Godzilla vs Kong
ya
I mean they'll be Mei-yin's giga if that's close enough
I'm wondering if the animated series becomes a big hit will they add a sequel featuring the survivor and genesis part 2
I hope
I wouldn't even care if they left out The Island and Scorched and jumped straight to genesis, aberration and extinction
I want to see anime magmasaur
Anime HLN-A anyone?
Or anime space whale, and YES
Anime ferox, anime bloodstalker, ANIME BABY MEGACELON
I wouldn't mind if the devs gave the survivor a voice but I think it'd be cooler if he was a silent protagonist
He just looks
since that would make sense since the survivor in the game is like a self insert character its his own journey and ours
imagine the way he interacts is by emoting XD
I would to hear him/her talk and be like “AND YOU TELL ME THIS NOW?!”
like WAIT WE'VE had a voice this whole time!?
“If you follow me you won’t get killed, probably....” “what do you mean probably!?”
although we have got Bob as a literal character so that's close enough I guess
Bob the main character gets stuck in a weird place
I doubt they would have a survivor saga but it would be funny
It would
I mean technically we don't even know if The Animated Series is canon considering the extra characters
I hope its canon that'd be interesting
I mean we only see scraps of the story through survivor notes
^
anything extra could have just ended up left out of the notes
So there could be a lot more
I would say as long as nothing in the animated series contradicts what we learn in the game directly then we can assume that they both have the same canon
Yea
I mean if its following Helena Walkers story I think its canon 100%
No it follows Bob!
Maybe these characters die by the hands of Nerva and the prophet we never see
The real main character is Helena's Parasaur
True its able to go against a raptor much better than the arks parasaurs
Her parasaur is going to defeat the overseer in one shot its too op
If that parasaur doesn’t die by the first two episodes it’s not cannon XD
haha true
I am already seeing a sad emotional death scene for it coming
It gets eaten by a sarco
isn't it killed by a carno?
top ten saddest anime deaths #1 Helena's Parasaur episode 3
what service will is be streaming on
Idk I think someone said like Hulu and Netflix
The animated series will be canon because the page on the official website for ARK says this "ARK fans will recognise many aspects of the lore and witness new depth and development to familiar characters. We can’t wait to share more as we near the airing!"
cant wait to see mei yins raptor!
dogshit
Isn't her raptor all black?
I saw the trailer & it was amazing! 🤩 I never imagine that there gonna bring an animated series. Ooo I can't wait to watch it on 2022!
I officially can not unsee Rockwell as scrooge now and I am so sorry about that XD
Just finished watching ark animated season 4, waiting for season 5’s release. I’m in 2039.
Rockwell during Xmas events:
"Bah! Humbug!"
facts
I'm only curious about what kind of Bob will Karl Urban play.
are the servers back up?
yup

okay animated rockwell is VERY fun to draw
Yez
There's gonna be a character similar to the squirrel from ice age but it's a bob getting into trouble
Please change the sir edmund rockwell sketch character that you have, hes not even close to the one is on the dosiers.
:B
Hes one of my favorite characters tho
I believe he plays Bob
Eh, Not bothered by that at all. The current one gives him a more......devious appearance for an island iteration.
You know what I used to think the design was not ideal bc he didn’t have a beard but I think he’ll get a beard when he starts going mad and corrupt. Otherwise his facial features and facial changes r really good. To me it seems like they tried to depict Rockwell with a little bit of David Tennant put into the mix
I’m pretty sure he’s bound to be the comedy character. I mean “Bob” screams to me that he’ll be the one we all relate to for the beach bob moments xD
The character designs have been revealed??
not all of them
I hope we get more animated dino skins
^
I wonder if every season will take place on each DLC map
Hopefully
we need animated giga
well we will see the one mei yin tames
ooh, seeing a skin of The Demon King would be cool
which is mei’s giga, it’d be awesome
True
Animated pocket giga
omg
animated chibis
Animated MEKs and skin variants 4 the 4 different ones
Animated bulbdogs
Animated Mutating Rockwell
Animated feces
...
Animated reaper queen impregnation
YES
Yeah like during every fight
animated wyvern milking
I can't wait for this
Even though I still don't understand how they would milk a wyvern
LMAOOO just an animated wyvern milking session
"How to milk a wyvern" a tutorial by Helena Walker
Wonder if they cursed characters people make will be on there
I hope they at least reference them once
Just have some guy with a ridiculously huge forehead and chin
Or someone with huge forearms
Tiny ass arms with huge hands
animated dinos breeding
No
Yah no, ur all going to far, also Noone seams to understand how dino biology works...
Dinos ain't mammals..
s
Eyo
Yes. They aren't. They are birds.
The dino breeding should work like it worked in the early phase of the game. (There are videos about it, it's hilarious.)
Hey I saw a version of the animated trailer where someone put green writing in there you would see ingame normally. Anyone has it?
Check #766826918803800074 for Jeremy's post
@clever crater thx!
its a pretty funny meme
they giants bees on a raptor with player
ohhh
Yeah it's really funny ngl
Where do I find these videos
The ARK dev kit contains all the dino mating animations the devs planned to use in the start of the development. (In the SS mod the Hatchery's dodo moving like it) v=tOEK4j9ZYXE
rockwell needs a beard , change my mind
yes
Do you all think we'll see a reference to the game with a character writing an explorer note on the series?
in*
Animated Parasaur is all we need, guys. Okay?
If only it could be live action
I remember there being a live action trailer or whatever for ark
I think at some point they had plans for a live action movie but obviously they didn't have the budget to go through with it
Or they dropped it for some other reason like they did with primal survival
Wasn't the life action trailer not from WC
I dont remember it was from 3 years ago
Primal survival RIP
It wasn't an action movie, it was to raise hype for the failure switch became
Ark just released fully that year, they weren't ready for a movie lmao
Oh ok
animated mesh?
I disagree. We gonna need compies.
I’d enjoy seeing an animated Kapro😂
aNiMaTeD dOdOs
That’s something I hope changes in ARK II as well, I hope the Kapro gets a redesign with extra tusks/fangs
yeah
I hope kapro doesn't make it into the game
I love the kapros though🥺
why not?
Same with microraptors and seagulls
I agree with those 2
yeah but that's cuz they annoying
Because they're annoying
fair enough
I find Kapro can be annoying, but it’s not a pointless annoying. With that logic, it would be like removing raptor because it can pounce
i think they should add more tek dinos
Agreed
Imagine a tek Wyvern lmao
OMG YES
But this is about ark 2 not the animated series
Fair fair fair
Yes
i want actual elephants in ark😡
That'd be the day
rockwell needs a beard
Rockwell needs to chill
The animated dodos are adorable af
Dodos are probably my favorite animals to ever exist, to the point i named my bird Dodo



Rockwell is like stereotypically british looking
All he needs is a handlebar mustache and a pipe
Yes
I want Rockwell to have facial hair
Sorry but side burns aren't enough, he needs a bowler hat too
I feel like Nerva needs to look younger and Rockwell needs more facial hair like the beard he has in the notes and to look older than Nerva
Nerva looks pretty good tbh
Eh, I like em both in the current iteration. Even if they aren’t “note” accurate for the moment. Rockwell can get a beard later as the story progresses but not a dealbreaker if he doesn’t
The Chad Nerva vs The Virgin Rockwell
I would train under Chaddy Nerva
Where do I find animated ark episodes
they are not out yet
If they don show us nervas huge roman package ima act up



My god I need to catch up on the lore of the ARK before watching this show😳 I’ve spent countless hundreds of hours perfecting my knowledge of every single living thing in the game, but have rather neglected the lore. I feel bad about that. Gotta fix it. Any suggestions of how to learn it in a good way? Explorer notes?
Nah isnt the series jus gon give the information the journals would
I’ve found reading their wiki bios is helping. I usually love reading lore so by Christmas I should be at least a bit caught up.
But I look forward to what the show has to offer in terms of bringing the deeper, more hidden stuff to light
100% agree. just find it too bad they told us so early. it got my hopes up just to see it is supposed to premier in 2 years.
Wait r u serious? 2 years???
yeah, 2022. got really pumped but they told us too early imo.
Yup
Lmao probably more like 3 for us PlayStation users😂
Oh wait wrong channel
I’m thinking of ARK II. But also yes I agree about the Animated Series
I'm nothing if not patient
its almost 2021 now, so only 2 years if they release it right at the end of 2022
I can't imagine that they would start a series at the end of a year
Latest character
Not from the lore
Looks crazy
She might be the 2nd most dangerous person on the island
After mei yin of course
You mean after Bob
i would let the Gladiatrix kill me with her big strong arms
god these character designs are so GOOD
who even is that
it says in the top text of the image that it is Gladiatrix
woah really
I can tell she is a bad guy
Idk one of those faces is looking pretty sinister
maybe she's apart of Nerva's army
or the leader of the painted sharks
I believe she is with Nerva yeah
How long until we have animated armor skins
I would love to have her clothes in game
It looks like a combination of flak, fur and hide
But bad girl usually takes on a different context
Oh and her hairstyle too
I wonder what that square thing is attached to the flak gauntlets on her left arm
reality check- most gladiators (and gladiatrigis?) fought shirtless.
Looks like it might be used for blocking
Her hairstyle is nice but I'm not too sure about the bald patch
Yeah fair enough she would probably look wild enough even if there wasn't a bald patch tbh because her hair is pretty much all over the place anyways
but I do agree I want haircuts from the animated series
especially Nerva's
Oh yeah I want his armor too
his design besides him looking older than Rockwell I love every part of it
I predict we will see plenty of new skins from the animated series
I'm fine with having no animated skins I just want the hairstyles
Man they fuckin changed helena man
She went from white to brown
Her eyes went from brown to blue
ngl she looks like korra now
tbh I really like her new design
plus I believe she's somewhat part indigenous australian? might be remembering it wrong
but regardless i do really like her new design
NEEEED
Where are the new concepts sourcing from? The Twitter feed only has like 3 accounts
actual twitter
this might be my favorite emoticon ever
Nah my problem is that the design of her was pretty consistent across the cutscenes and posters, but then the animated series just did that
ahhh that's fair, I can see where you're coming from with that. the change is certainly baffling but I personally welcome it honestly
gee gladiatrix how come the server lets you have four emotes

Imagine losing to someone on a parasaur
I mean I once had a guy in flak and with an assault rifle harassing me in my thatch house so I went out my back door and clubbed him unconscious and took his stuff
So we have Ark the game, and soon we will have Ark the animated series.
But have you considered
Ark: The Animated Series: The Game
Now we're thinking like Disney
Ark: The Game: The Animated Series: The Game: The Animated Series
also does anyone know what the TV series is going to be released on
Probably Netflix
We don't know yet but I'm betting on Netflix, yeah
“First look at my character”
I thought that the scenes were already animated and shown to the VA so they know what tense and how to say things to match actions. I guess they just haven’t done that part yet.
I'd assume that would be done in multiple takes and shown via storyboards?
I think David Tennant is such a good pick for Rockwell god damn
honestly at first I was iffy on Tennant Rockwell but it works so well
I remember specifically that’s how Voice acting is done for sponge bob
I don't think every process is the same, dunno
It just seems like it makes more sense right?
I feel as though animating the actual scene would come later in order to match lipsyncs and actions. Dunno
I would just guess that they haven’t done voice acting yet and are still making the scenes
probably
I would love to see more big name actors in animated works
Sometimes feels like animation is taken less seriously than live action
Assault rifle Imagine
Lol imagine using guns
Guns are powerful @gentle warren
feels like thats turning around, i see it becoming more and more common for them to voice game characters too
also mark hamill has been helping pioneer that i feel.
Who would win: a warrior donning full plate armor wielding the most advanced weaponry of the modern age
Or
A guy with a big stick
depends how good the dude with the stick is
Animation is SO much better for ARK than live action imo
Yeah can you imagine the trouble they would have to go through to get real dinosaur actors
yeah dawg those are hard to find tbh
They'd have to tame all of those dinosaurs for the series
and theyd have to edit out all the whistling
Fr
It is all fun and games until Vin Diesel gets swallowed by a Spinosaurus
Aw sorry I left him on aggressive
just make an alliance smh
nah needs live action remake after the series is done
Ark: The Game: The Animated Series: The Live Action Remake: The CGI Edition
Vin diesel gets munched by a titan
Vin diesel breeding but animated
So, whenever they do Aberration do we get to see that one person commit suicide because they thinks they are in a dream?
If they do abberation, probably
Wait what?
one of the student journals, someone writes about how they think they're in a dream, and then proceed to jump off of a cliff (iirc)
Yeah it sent me down a rabbit hole of looking at the explorer notes there name is skye i believe
*"Far out! This place is kinda like that dream I had.
So it went like this: I ride some tram thing to like, the biggest, weirdest zoo in the universe, right? Only instead of normal animals, there's dinosaurs! Totally cool...until they all escape just like in every horror movie ever made. Duh! Anyway, Dream-Me hops into a truck with some ripped, badass dudes, and we just start driving around, shooting dinosaurs and stuff. I felt like a legit action hero!
So I guess this place isn't exactly the same. There's dinosaurs, but I don't have guns or a truck. Also I'm completely alone...
But it's still just a dream, right? I mean, obviously! I don't even know why I'm writing this down, it's all in my head. All I need to do is walk off that cliff, and I'll wake up right before I hit the ground."*
-Skye
I need to see an animated Aberration series
I am a monkey
I want to see a season with art direction from James Gourney, he was assisting with a Dinotopia map at one point and I think he’d be great for fleshing out the every day world
Like the microcosm of how a breeder would breed up different species of dinosaurs. What kind of structures theyd live in, what would a quetzal aviary be like compared to one for tapejaras.
I’ve learned a lot about world building from him and I bet y’all dollars to donuts that he’d be down
I'm excited for Helena's early game
Never got to hear about it. She started writing at mid-game-ish
I hope we get to see the moment she woke up
I also hope she goes through the same wake up animation we all do in game
would be cool if the series starts with her waking on the ARK in first person view and she looks at her implant and then it goes to third/fourth person
hah was typing out that similar thought 🙂
Yeah just like that. Would be cool as fuck
I've went through more than helena, i think they should make a story about my ark life
somos tribu de 5 y nos queda uno para llenarla, reclutamos a alguien que tenga varias horas, hablarme privado
We need this guy to have his own animated episode season
tbh, id pay to see Zanfas turtle charge that turret wall in the nude rendered in dramatic fashion
but thats why this setting lends well to other media, you can pick anyone from anywhere in time and space and just be like 'here is their dinosaur island adventure'
I hope that the animated series brings more people into ARK, especially its lore
Ark The animated series Should Have Deformed Survivors Like in the actual game
XD
Bob is a confirmed character so have hope
Bob is going to be all jaw
hello
He's gonna show up for one whole second to get eaten by a rex
"Karl Urban plays Bob, a recent square-jawed ARK arrival."
this will be even better with bob
Question anyone help me
Do I have to kill all titans to ascend or are there oblisk first time doing the map?
@dense drum unblock mal pls hab ne frage
There is no extra ascension levels you can get on extinction also use #bobs-with-probs for any questions
Oh I love that stego design
Me too
It’s kind of odd that it’s pre-tlc though
Is it? I can't tell
We need more animated series skins, I want the parasaur
It is very odd that it’s not TLC Stego, Wonder when they will show off the big 3 designs?
big 3??
Rex, Spino and Giga
it'll be a while until we hear any scorched-related stuff
Maybe just maybe we will finally get a proper ending for scorched earth by the time the show gets to it
scorched ascension in TAS, pog
Everyone gonna be gangster till they see that giga crest the hill
will be british be able to see the animated series?
NO
any other thoughts?
no
as a briddish person i dont know what an ark is
I’m honestly more excited for the animated series rather than ark 2
i'm more excited for the series than ark 2
I do hope that the series will go into further depth regarding all of the main characters backstories. So far we know that Mei Yin and Helena’s backstories will be looked into further, but I’d love insight on Nerva and Rockwell’s past lives, too
mei yin riding a giga into battle and it just devouring rexes and stuff would be awsome, like a suprise appearance at a party sort of thing
British people aren't real
Snap, i forgot main characters are probably gonna die on the series
Bob better not die, If he does. I want a dilo pack death or another bob-y way to die
he whistles all to follow and gets trampled to death by his own dinos
Dies valiantly fighting a giga with his massive dodo army.
david tennant has an atmosphere that i think will go very well with rockwell
Bob will die from leeches
There are default names?
Joe moment
I hope its canon to the official lore w/ rockwell and mei yin and nerva
It definitely will be
seeing a managarmr in the series would be dope
how would it move? how would it sound...
2022, no confirmed date or service that i know of
hello
Need michael bay to direct the island tek cave
can anyone teach me like the basics of ark or just play with me?
I'd suggest asking in #ark-survival-ascended, this channel is for discussion of the upcoming animated series.
Michael bay makes a magmasaur encounter 😰
this goin be lit ngl
Michael bay just looks at the magmasaur and it exsplodes
do you whach my hero acadamia because of ure profile pictur
No they just saw the picture and thought it would make a good profile picture
in view of what Wild Card happens to do, I wonder if their animated series will be as bugged as their server
Hoping that one of the dead dinosaurs in the animation rubberbands to earth orbit

here’s a game, take a shot whenever someone makes a joke about glitches being in the show
Death by alcohol poisoning
🚑 weewoo
Nah, the devs got out the self depreciation in Gen1
Why does the ark TV show look like a nick Jr show?
Ark animated series looks like a super cool anime I well definitely watch it
When will we get a waifu body pillow for Bob? 🥺
Will it be on netflix?
Anne is one i think
I feel bad for that raptor..
XD no probably not, it’ll be on YouTube tho
We don't have a confirmed site yet.
Bobdy pillow
i dont think itll be on yt tbh. content like this with such a huge cast is usually sold to third party streaming services and would end up making them so much more money then just ad revenue. im thinking netflix if not hulu.
They'd want to make some money back on this, so I'm assuming either Hulu, Netflix, or Amazon.
Probably Hulu or Netflix
😢
Direct to DVD 😆
vhs exclusive
Movie reel Exclusive
Please be Netflix
Or Amazon Prime, one of the two 🤞
twitch exclusive
i love ark
Disney makes terrible dinosaur stuff
honastly
They do tho
Tbh I think that it's most likely going to be on HBO max or Amazon prime
dinosaur was the shit idk what ur on abt
disney makes good dino movies just not often
Not the mama!
Please be Netflix it’s the only thing I got a subscription for right now
Lol what if it was YouTube red lmao
Animated baby reaper gonna be sick
Animated pregnancy of reaper and the birth 😮
Lmao
Animated wyvern milking👀
straight to hard copy. screw these internet exclusives.
