It has been well over a year since the Steam Early Access release of Ark: Survival Evolved and nearly a year since Xbox One players first started playing the game via the Xbox Game Preview Program. This has left PlayStation owners waiting to start engaging in the game’s dinosaur mayhem. Well, now it appears that the wait will soon be over, as an official announcement from Studio Wildcard on the official Ark website, SurviveTheArk.com, has revealed that the Ark: Survival Evolved PS4 version of the game will be releasing on December 6th.

The game will launch in North America and in Europe on Sony’s console in what is being called the ARK: Survivor’s Pack. This bundle will include both the base game of Ark: Survival Evolved, as well as Ark: Scorched Earth, the large dessert-themed expansion. Also included for this PS4 version are a Bionic Giganotosaurus skin and a Manticore armor set that both male and female avatars can wear. This bundle will be sold for $54.99 in North America and €49.99 in Europe. While the base game and the Scorched Earth Expansion will have an option to be purchased separately in December, this will not be available for North American players until Spring of 2017. Studio Wildcard has confirmed that the game will be receiving content updates until the game is released as a final product next spring.

Due to my lack of a decent PC or Xbox One, I haven’t paid much attention to this game, but as a PS4 owner, any game that lets you ride on a dinosaur and wield a machine gun has to be worth one’s attention in my book. What do you guys think? Are you going to pick up the Ark: Survival Evolved PS4 edition in December? Are you going to wait until the base game and expansion sell separately next spring?
