Ark II is an honest-to-god Vin Diesel video game

What a surprising turn of events

I am formally nominating Ark II as the wildest moment of The Game Awards. I can’t even process it.

In the lead-up to us seeing the title, I was convinced we were getting a rabid new Turok with Vin Diesel. Instead – and I can’t stress enough how much I’m still coping with this – it’s a sequel to Ark. That Ark.

Following the show, Studio Wildcard confirmed that Ark II will be “launching on PC and exclusively on Xbox,” and despite what the Game Awards trailer might imply, it’s an “online multiplayer sandbox.”

Ark: Survival Evolved is huge in a way that affords its sequel a lot of ambition, but man. Vin!
