Another Thursday means another big helping of survival game with dinosaurs in it.
Ark has been free on the Epic Games Store before – it was the featured free game back in 2020, to celebrate its fifth anniversary. Since then, Ark has seen its final set of paid DLC expansions roll out, including one with former conclusion of the Genesis arc.
All of this is leading inexorably to the coming launch of Ark 2, which features sometime next year.
Along with Ark: Survival Evolved, you'll also be able to grab a free copy of digital board game Gloomhaven on the Epic Store next week. Both games will be free to own September 22-29.
Be sure to check out our list of the best Ark mods in 2022 if you're planning on jumping in next week.
