Studio Wildcard Reveals New ARK: Genesis Part II Expansion Pack, With Trailer, Features, And Celebrity Voice Talent

REDMOND, WA – November 7, 2020 – Studio Wildcard is currently hosting its Extra Life 24-hour charity stream with all proceeds directly benefiting children in need. The Wildcard team is proud to be consistently in the Top 10 fundraisers for Children’s Miracle Network, delivering giveaways and big ARK game reveals - this year is no exception!

In the opening moments, an ARK: Genesis Part II teaser trailer was revealed introducing dramatic new biomes, story missions, and exotic creatures coming when it launches March 2021. The highly anticipated expansion pack will also introduce new voiceover talent to the ARK universe with David Tennant (Doctor Who, Good Omens) playing the villainous Sir Edmund Rockwell, and Madeleine Madden (The Wheel of TimePicnic at Hanging RockDora and the Lost City of Gold) taking on the in-game robotic AI companion HLN-A/Helena Walker.

The final confrontation between these two antagonists takes place on a gigantic colony ship traveling through deep space, and players will need to make use of all their ARK skills to succeed. Whether it’s taking possession of enemies via brain-controlling “Noglin” creatures, zooming around doing radical tricks on the skateboard-like Hoversail, or managing & viewing bases remotely with security cameras - among tons of other new items and creatures - ARK’s largest Expansion Pack yet has game-changing additions for every kind of Survivor. But even with HLN-A's help, will they be able to put a stop to Rockwell's demented plans once and for all? We’re about to find out, because The End is Near!
