“Following the success of the game mode, tournaments, and feedback from the community, SotF has been refactored into its own competitive game including four new modes, a robust ranking system, massively boosted performance, cosmetic-tiered rewards, lobbies/parties/on-demand-matchmaking, and constant iteration,” Studio Wildcard explained in its announcement. Player profiles are projected into the sky as they die until only one is left standing and can be declared winner. Along the way, events will happen in the world such as carnivores suddenly spawning in to wreak havoc or acid rain to fall and cause damage to armor and players. A force field surrounds the arena that slowly shrinks to force players back to the platform where they began. Players are dropped around a circular platform in the center of the map where they can make the decision to rush to the middle for supplies, weapons, and an early fight, or take off into the relative safety of the surrounding woods.įrom there, it is a race to craft weapons and armor plus tame animals without being killed by other players, animals, or your own poor planning. The twist is, players are competing on an island full of dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures that can be tamed or kill you. This has improved performance of the game by only focusing on those assets needed to support SotF.ĪRK: Survival of the Fittest (Free to Play) is now live! #playARK /r0Vbr7pymeįor those that aren’t familiar, ARK: Survival of the Fittest started as a total conversion mod for the Survival Evolved that pits up to 72 players into a Hunger Games-like match. This has allowed Studio Wildcard to strip everything out of ARK: Survival Evolved that is not needed to support the Battle Royale game. There are some additional benefits to making Survival of the Fittest a stand-alone title.
Studio Wildcard decided to split development for the popular mod off on its own with a dedicated development team to ensure it is not dependent on the continued development of the main title.
Survival of the Fittest launched on Steam today as a free-to-play standalone game based on ARK: Survival Evolved. The studio announced Tuesday the dinosaur survival game is splitting off its popular Battle Royale mod, Survival of the Fittest, into its own separate game. ARK: Survival Evolved and Studio Wildcard is taking the same step Daybreak Studios recently took with H1Z1.
