It’s always exciting to see a big-name actor involved in a video game, whether it’s Norman Reedus in Death Stranding or Dave Bautista in Gears 5. Perhaps Studio Wildcard working with Vin Diesel is simply a happy accident – the actor is known to be a big nerd who’s enjoyed videogames and a good game of DnD for years. According to Microsoft he’s simply a fan of Ark, with a playtime of roundabout 1000 hours – a median time for the community.
Vin Diesel will do more than act in Ark 2, though – he’s listed as Studio Wildcard’s “President of Creative Convergence”. This mouthful of a title is likely an amalgamation of the two roles Diesel fulfils for the studio. On one hand, he’s the executive producer for Ark 2, but he also executive produces the upcoming Ark animated series.
"He understands the game intimately and is providing direct feedback to the development process," Studio Wildcard says. Apparently, that also involves logging bugs in Ark. It’s not clear how heavily involved he is with the game, but it’s fair to say Vin Diesel is a game developer now.
What is the Ark 2 release date?
While we don't have a specific date, we have been given a rough 2022 Ark 2 release date window. Microsoft is yet to clarify whether that’s a full launch or an Early Access launch, since Ark 2 could follow the same release model as Ark: Survival Evolved.
The first game launched into what back then was Xbox’s Preview program in 2015, ahead of the full launch in 2017.
What will the Ark 2 platform releases be?
Ark 2 is an Xbox Series X|S console launch exclusive. If things go the way they did with Survival Evolved, this will also include PC, (possibly Xbox Game Pass at launch) before a PS5 version will eventually follow. Microsoft also points out that Ark 2 will be optimised for Xbox Series .
What is Vin Diesel doing in Ark 2, anyway?
