During the trailer for this new narrative title from ARK, we could see a small doodo being attacked by other larger dinosaurs, who end up defeated by Vin Diesel (Santiago) riding a T-Rex, accompanied by his daughter Meeka.
Although, the presentation and the recent trailer of ARK II has defined it as a game with more narrative weight compared to the first installment, which was completely multiplayer. ARK II feels like a combination of prehistoric, tribal, but also futuristic style.

Reveal a lot of details of ARK 2, which will come to Xbox Game Pass at launch
ARK 2 will be the biggest game ever created for survival experiences, where we will develop our own stories. The main narrative of ARK 2 tells the story of a father and a daughter, Meeka, of betrayal and broken promises, and the strength of the family bond and of course. Without a doubt, this is an incredibly gigantic dinosaur story, but what is more important will be the stories of the players themselves. Surviving in ARK 2 will have its own unique path through the game as we will have to form our own tribe, make our own friends, and attempt to build a creature assisted civilization.
In this third-person-only sequel, controls and movement have been redesigned for both players and creatures, taking inspiration from titles like Assassin’s Creed or the large-scale Zelda Breath of the Wild. It will be able to scale in a more free and realistic way, with a combat similar to the Souls. As for the fights with dinosaurs of all kinds and sizes, it will be very bloody and visceral.
