Studio Wildcard seems to be of the mindset that everything is better with dinosaurs. That’s the only conclusion we can draw when it created its battle royale RTS spinoff ARK: Survival of the Fittest way back in 2016 for PC and Mac, first as a free standalone title and then bundled together as a mode when players bought ARK: Survival Evolved. Now, after literal years of waiting, console players can get in to the so-called Tyranno-dome as the mode has finally landed on Xbox and PlayStation.
“Get ready to roar and rumble in a dinosaur free-for-all for the ages! […] This beloved battle royale mode for ARK pits up to 60 players against each other in a fast-paced, action-packed struggle for survival. Players and their Dinosaur Armies are actively pushed into conflict all across the ARK island, leading to a climactic confrontation of Cretaceous capacity!”
As one might anticipate, the release of SOTF to consoles has come with a new trailer that can be seen below, and fans held a SOTF esports event this past Saturday to mark the mode’s release. So apparently the devs aren’t the only ones who think everything is better with dinosaurs.
