Set on a colony ship traveling through deep space, the expansion revolves around HLN-A and Sir Edmund Rockwell settling the score.
As the villainous Rockwell – voiced by David Tennant – puts it, players get to explore a world in which “the boundary between the biological and technological has been all but erased,” encountering a handful of new creatures, some of which have mutated or entirely left flesh behind.
You can possess enemies using brain-controlling Noglins, navigate the colony ship using the new Hoversail and manage your base remotely using security cameras.
Studio Wildcard is also working on Ark 2 which will feature Vin Diesel as protagonist. The sequel is aiming for a 2022 release.
