ARK: Survival Evolved is free on the Epic Games Store as part of its weekly free game giveaway. The survival adventure game developed by Studio Wildcard launched in 2017 and is now available for free till 18 June .
Epic Games has been giving away free games every week for quite some time now and the list has included AAA titles like Grand Theft Auto V, Civilization VI, Borderlands, and more. Now, ARK: Survival Evolved is next on the list and those who download the game before 18 June will have it forever.
Initially released in 2017, the game received mixed reviews due to its swath of bugs and performance issues. Fortunately in 2020, many of the issues and “rough edges” have been fixed, meaning that now more than ever, Ark: Survival Evolved is worth giving a go.
The game puts the player in a mysterious island which is home to primeval creatures where one can kill or tame by using and upgrading their skills. It has a multiplayer component as well and you can meet other players on the island. The ultimate aim is to escape. Offering both single-player and multiplayer modes, players can take on the world’s dangers as a lone wolf, or can team up with others to form a tribe, tame dinosaurs, and build structures.
