We’re back in December 2020, and Paramount announces a new dinosaur-themed animated series titled Ark: The Animated Series. The series was announced via a trailer during the 2020 Video Game Awards, also revealing that the series would be featuring a star-filled cast that would include Gerard Butler, David Tennant, Michelle Yeoh, Jeffrey Wright, Zahn McClarnon, Elliot Page, Karl Urban, Malcolm McDowell, Alan Tudyk, Russell Crowe, and Vin Diesel, all of whom will also serve as the executive producers of the series.
The series was based on the Ark: Survival Evolved video game, with the game’s creators Jeremy Stieglitz and Jesse Rapczak serving as the creators of the series as well. In June 2022, as the series entered post-production, it was revealed that both Monica Bellucci and Dee Bradley Baker had joined the series as well, with Gareth Coker as the composer. And that was more or less it for a while.

While I haven’t played the source video game (Ark: Survival Evolved), the voice cast for Ark: The Animated Series definitely piques interest, as it hosts Oscar winners, fan favorites and even Doctors…The partial cast list includes Madeleine Madden, Michelle Yeoh, Russell Crowe, Gerard Butler, Jeffrey Wright, David Tennant, Elliot Page, Vin Diesel, Karl Urban, and more.
While that is a seriously impressive cast, perhaps the biggest draw for some is that Ark will be scored by the game’s composer Gareth Coker, who also provided the gorgeous music for Ori and...

In an unusually candid moment, Studio Wildcard’s co-founder has said that the servers underpinning Ark: Survival Ascended “run like ass.”
Revised survival game Ark: Survival Ascended has been greeted with mixed reviews since it launched into Early Access in late October, and even its developer, Studio Wildcard, seems open that there’s room for improvement.
As reported by Eurogamer, studio co-founder Jeremy Stieglitz has admitted that the game’s servers – in terms of their stability and speed – are “ass.”
“The servers are ass,” Stieglitz said during the Extra Life Charity Stream on Twitch. “They run like ass, and their stability is ass.”
First announced in April, Ark: Survival Ascended is a current-gen reworking of Studio Wildcard’s own hit, Ark: Survival Evolved. Shifting platforms to Unreal Engine 5, Survival Ascended was delayed several times – apparently due to the challenges of working with Epic’s new engine – and also sparked a bit of pre-release controversy.
