This one hits hard. My brother passed away literally the day before this trailer came out. Ark was his favourite game and we’d play religiously before he got sick. Man he’d love to watch this. I’m currently building a small base in his honour on a pve server on Ragnarok because it was the map we’d play on the most. He went by Rango in game and everyone on the server we’d play on knew him by that
I am truly sorry to hear of your loss mate. If possible i would love to visit the server and see the base when it is complete to pay my respect in game
Sorry for your loss. I love how this new ARK series honors your brother. Your story of your brother and ARK touched me deeply. I never thought so much about the characters that wake up and find themselves in the ARK game before. I am so glad you made beautiful memories of all the adventures, hardships and victories, that you and Rango had in Ragnarok.

I do not wish for you to play PvP it is gonna discuss you of the game 🥲 Although I love the game as well playing pvp is toxic as shit and the game if badly optimised
They're going a lot deeper into Helena's life before arriving on the Ark then I expected. Really wish we got a release date but any news is great at this point.
I definitely wish there was a release date. However, there was confirmation that the show is already completely finished. Obviously nothing is for sure yet, but I sort or figure the reason its delayed for 2023 is because there’s a lot going on right now with SOTF and the Switch port, so the show needs a later release so everything can have some attention. I bet it will be very early 2023 release
Never would I have imagined that I would fall in love with a game that would someday have an animated series voiced and produced by such an incredible lineup... I just wanted to ride a Triceratops and the game actually changed my life in a lot of ways. I have met and lost so many friends through this game, I fell in love with someone across the globe and had my heart broken all because of this game. I am so excited for this animated series and for Ark 2! Thank you for all the amazing memories and fun you have given me, It's been a pleasure to see Ark grow from when I joined in the early days of EA to now starting it all new again. I cant believe its been so long.
Unironically, this is the best thing to happen with ARK. I really like the crature designs, there is something strangely nostalgic about it, and hopefuly the story will end up well represented.
have you watched Avatar: The Last Airbender before? The style is similar, I think that it's the same studio which is why I think that it could be familiar while looking at the creature designs
@@Talonflame876 Yes I did, ATLA is a piece of art, and it is pretty much similiar. I also see a lot of resemblence with Land of the Dinosaurs, specifically for the Tyrannosaurs.
@@Talonflame876 best decision they ever made, this artstyle is timeless could be a really awesome show for the next generation, like Avatar is timeless
I’ve played this game since the beginning and it honestly makes me tear up just how far it’s gone and how far it still has to go🤧 … and the music just slaps!!
dude i know right. i really wonder how far the show will take it. if its just only gonna be the island (since thats all we are seeing) or if it will go through all the maps. when it comes out im gonna send it to everyone i know.
I love when they realize the island is home to all sorts of different animals like a terrarium and they go "what is this? Some sort of Ark (Survival Evolved)?
“Ah yes, it’s everything I could’ve hoped for. Truly beautiful.” -Me finding out they didn’t just kill the dodo immediately and now it’s gets to be a travel companion
For those confused by the first quarter of the trailer; Helena's wife, Victoria Walker, joins an unspecified high risk mission and is killed. The grief-struck Helena is implied to overdose and die, her consciousness then awakening in a new body on the Island through her 'engrammic matrix' having been recovered and stored far in the future by the people behind the ARK project, then planted on the Island ARK. The matrix was basically a freshly discovered part of the brain that remained recoverable even after many years of decay, capable of storing the person's DNA, personality and memories - this is why the ARKs are populated by people from vastly different cultures and time periods. Cue the epic but not very well known story of Helena and the other explorer note writers.
@@paulrichardson2554 Yes. The concept and specifics of the engrammic matrixes are explained in the Extinction explorer notes. Helena, just like all the other humans that live in the ARKs, are recreations made from the information stored in their engrammic matrixes.
I kinda hope Alan Tudyk has a dual role in this and also voices Dodo like he did Hei hei in Moana! 🤣 The man went to Julliard!! Give him more bird roles!
people where cloned from differnt times and but into ark thats why you have people from ancient eghypt 3000 years ago or people from the the present who know how to use tek and meks.
@@bronx2964 no , no people from the future technically just people from modern times and the past which wouldd be quite a bit in the future from where we are but not in the game if you understand what I mean.
Hopefully at very least we see a Beach Bob starting his day way off in the distance when he looks up on to the hill and sees that mega base and instantly crashes XD
This show looks so good from 1:23 and on. I can't wait to watch this show. Western animation has really stepped up their game since anime has been a thing.
@@Auduuxx Right there with you Antoniojem, He may not but I will. Woke introduced to a production company that has scammed and lied to thousands. Seems very fitting. Really unnecessary and once more implementing Woke crap without any genuine foundation behind it. Typical and why Woke Writers are bad. Who foundation of the Character they want us to like is based off being a lesbo. Which mind you, Most Men, HAVE NO ISSUES WITH LESBOS we would like to see more many many more of them, A WHOLE lot more of them. Preferably the Attractive ones, and not the ones that didn't care for themselves and got all fat and fugly and became lesbos because dudes wouldn't touch them and they still need love and all. That's ALL totally welcomed. But, Ranting here. Heavy Caution is warranted though. Disney is far more established than ANY other entertainment industry and they are taking MASSIVE hits from all fronts due to the Woke crap. Does Ark seriously want to alienate their fan base by not staying at the VERY LEAST neutral on the subject. Or do what many other series have done, First two seasons completely normal and than third season woke it so when it crashes and burns atleast you made some level of monies. Sorta like how Ark and Atlas came to be. Like that. Most People and by most I mean the 99.96% of the population can totally get behind a female character, which Ark users are more than happy to follow the Female lead. Totally cool with that. But what is missing in cinema is character developments, We want pain, suffering, character purpose, goals, feelings and thoughts. If the most you can come up with is, "I'm Lesbo and Great at everything I do because I'm lesbo." Well... I sense a lot of money going down the drain for 00.04% of the population. Just a Thought.
Finally we will know the past of helena before and during the Ark Edit: hoped that after the main story, they show us the history of our characters until genesis 2
This voice cast is actually nuts, and the exec producers is insane, hard to believe this little game I started playing in 2015 is getting this big. Some of the most best times I've had playing video games was experiencing Ark, hope this show can capture some of that feeling for people
I'm blown away that they actually went back in-game to have some of the voice cast actually do the explorer's notes. Started playing solo on Scorched Earth recently after a couple years hiatus and it couldn't believe I was hearing David Tennant as Rockwell from one of the original non-Genesis related entries.
Things I've noticed, First Meiyin is the one who fights the broodmother, helena uses a tek rifle which normally wouldn't be seen until Abberation in the notes. A leeds attacked a megalodon. Helena fighting, more interactions with Nerva who she only would have met after the Megapithicus fight. Rather then athena the argentavis, helena is here seen riding a parasaur mostly and carrying around a dodo. The meiyin meeting also seems to be different. Edit 1: Meiyin and Nerva meet on the battlefield rather then at the overseer arena. There is also a lack of guns, something we know the new legion had and used.
@bonemarrow3439 I hope so too, would suck if they changed it too much, especially Rockwell, Helena, and Meiyin. They have such good story arks and it would suck if they ruined it by changing the story too drastically.

I am and have been and will continue to be SO excited for this, holy crap, I hope they go through all the core maps and storylines! Maybe 6 seasons, a season per map? No idea, but OMG PLEASE LEMME WATCH.
@@gecko-saurus Lore wise, Scorched earth is pretty irrelevant... I'm sure we'll see Abberation at some point, but story wise that would seem a long way ahead tho
@@Vradica No its not irrelevant. Scorched Earth is meant to give them understanding about how the ARKs are designed to keep them from becoming too successful.
There's something very poetic about Helena's story in her past life she committed suicide out of grief. Now reborn through cloning, she has to find the will to survive and fight.
FINALLY, people can understand the Ark Lore like me!!! I won’t be alone anymore!!! Also I am very excited to see how much they do with the new show cause I am a massive fan of Ark! THE ANIMATION LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!
It’s a living hell to experience the lore yourself, but it’s a rewarding experience. Hopefully a lot of people who don’t have that kind of commitment will enjoy this!
I’ve played this game since Alpha release! I watched how it grew and changed and got better and better all the way until it’s official release! I played so many hours with this game with many friends, who I unfortunately seem to have lost contact with. But nevertheless, this show looks like it’ll rekindle so many memories of surviving, taming, building, and fighting to survive! So many wonderful fun memories this game brought!
There is something about Gerard Butler saying "Do you not realize what can happen when a man defies the gods!?" that awakens something nostalgic yet primal inside me heart, only to be followed by the banger of a line "Give me a thousand lives and I will give you a thousand deaths!" HOLY SHI-
I hope at the final episode when they are fighting the final boss they are about to lose and all end up dying when suddenly the Beach Bob comes out of nowhere and saves them.
@@TheOnlyBuddyLee the last second of the legend of whorra on the season finale was that Korra and Asami kissed even though they didn't have any screen time or romance
I love how it seems the explorer notes actually did tell most this story already but now we actually get to see it all unfold I really hope every season is a different ark and it goes in order of how they came out. But that also means it would end when extinction starts because we're following Helena's story.
Usually when i get bored in ark i start reading survivor notes and read those stories and imagine how they wouldve played out Seeing as soon enough i can actually watch it play out just makes me so excited
This looks amazing! I’m so excited, the animation is already good enough but just the fact the story of Ark is getting this kind of treatment is so fantastic to me. Even seeing Bob with the dodo made me so stupidly happy, and later Helena carrying it alongside the journey made me so happy. My first ever take was a dodo and I used to do that all the time. I’m beyond hyped, can’t wait!
One time in ark me and a friend were imprisoned and told if I beat boxed and he rapped they may let us free. I'm a decent beat boxer and my friend managed to come up with some funny bars and they not only let us free but gave us a ton of stuff for they were an alpha tribe. I'm sure nothing in this show will replicate that but the hope that something similar would happen is enough to watch besides the fact that THIS LOOKS AMAZING AND IM WATCHING IT REGARDLESS! lmao looks like a passion project and I have high hopes for this.
at the end and at 2:30 , something about the theme song of ark just sends chills down my spine. It is so nostalgic and just really really damn good. Thanks for being a part of my childhood ARK team. thank you for making me and my friendgroup at the time!
5th grade me and a friend of mine made a presentation about dinosaurs and made it like the dossiers you find on ark and showed it to class. Had so much fun making that. That was close to summer of 2016. And here I am in 2023 revisiting all of the ark maps and am having a blast. Excited to watch the show and witness the stories that we have only been able to read about.
This show is exactly like the game! Delayed for long stretches of time and vague details on a release date, maybe the characters with longnecks and crossbows will have to put their weapon away and reequip it before they can reload too
This looks stunning. I’m very excited to see such detailed backstories for the characters, and seeing our favorite ( and ugh, piranhas) dinosaurs animated looks awesome! I’m so hype for this show!!!
Now we just need ARK to have a completely impossible crossover with Critical Role, and the internet would implode. It's this new generation of unapologetic adult-level North American animation style that's finally distinguishing itself as an entertainment form, post-DC John Constantine's Justice League, and I'm loving it!
I made a point of finding all of the lore journals in every map. Watching this was like living a piece of those journals. Cannot wait for the full series.
Not only can't I wait for this... I hope that this is successful enough that we see the series get to Aberration and Extinction (my favorites). I want to see Mei Yin in her tek armor, Diana and Santiago, and all the weird stuff in Aberration.
This looks like it has potential. I can't really understand what they're saying but as long as they don't focus on the lives before too much and concentrate enough time towards crafting, building, exploring, and working together, I know I will love it.
I don't know.. they r showing Helena past and her going through depression and killing herself. And once she's on the island she seems like a damsel in distress. Idk about u but in the ark notes she seemed to know how to get around the island fine and she was fascinated with her new world as a biologist. I'm not saying they won't show her being a biologist but it seems they made her have a "rough past" to make her more deep which Is retarded. Even tho she never mentions her past in the notes nor is ever depressed in the notes I have a feeling this is not gonna be good
Im honestly just confused by the begining as its something that isnt talked about in the lore as far as i know. I always thought helena rockwell santiago and co were the first people on the arks. Always wanted to see the story of what came before.
This is one of the shows that actually ties into the game really well. For example, you start off instantly being attacked like in the game

Been a fan since 2015 bro I remember talking about this game and playing every day with my friends
Can I play ark on an laptop?
@@ImHerBatman what type of laptop
They're going a lot deeper into Helena's life before arriving on the Ark then I expected. Really wish we got a release date but any news is great at this point.
I definitely wish there was a release date. However, there was confirmation that the show is already completely finished. Obviously nothing is for sure yet, but I sort or figure the reason its delayed for 2023 is because there’s a lot going on right now with SOTF and the Switch port, so the show needs a later release so everything can have some attention. I bet it will be very early 2023 release
Never would I have imagined that I would fall in love with a game that would someday have an animated series voiced and produced by such an incredible lineup... I just wanted to ride a Triceratops and the game actually changed my life in a lot of ways. I have met and lost so many friends through this game, I fell in love with someone across the globe and had my heart broken all because of this game. I am so excited for this animated series and for Ark 2! Thank you for all the amazing memories and fun you have given me, It's been a pleasure to see Ark grow from when I joined in the early days of EA to now starting it all new again. I cant believe its been so long.

This is a certified SPCrash moment 😔💕
So glad that bob is in the lore now, this look's incredible.
When Helena said, "I am the Ark: Survival Evolved." I legit burst into tears.
I cried as soon as the Giga got on all fours and said “It’s survivin time”
Truly breathtaking work
@@ColonelSanders493 Crying blood now
it had me in tears when the Trike got tamend and instantly got into triking mode, just like the Brontos started brontling
I was shaking and crying on the floor when the Dodo dodoed everywhere
I'm so ridiculously excited for this show. My favorite open world survival game ever. And so far the story seems to be on point. Can't wait.
Unironically, this is the best thing to happen with ARK.
I really like the crature designs, there is something strangely nostalgic about it, and hopefuly the story will end up well represented.
have you watched Avatar: The Last Airbender before? The style is similar, I think that it's the same studio which is why I think that it could be familiar while looking at the creature designs
@@Talonflame876 Yes I did, ATLA is a piece of art, and it is pretty much similiar.
I also see a lot of resemblence with Land of the Dinosaurs, specifically for the Tyrannosaurs.
@@Talonflame876 best decision they ever made, this artstyle is timeless could be a really awesome show for the next generation, like Avatar is timeless
I’ve played this game since the beginning and it honestly makes me tear up just how far it’s gone and how far it still has to go🤧
… and the music just slaps!!
I agree
This show will flop and the games only gonna die more
the music at the end and in the middle, something about the soundtrack just gives chills
dude i know right. i really wonder how far the show will take it. if its just only gonna be the island (since thats all we are seeing) or if it will go through all the maps. when it comes out im gonna send it to everyone i know.
The music has always slapped
3:47 "I am going to Ark: Survival Evolve"
Truly the show of all time.
The best moment was when Helena looks at Mei Yin and says "It's ARKing time". Bravo Jeremy & Jesse.
it's survivin' time
@@fish2380 i love when he said its bobbin time
I love when they realize the island is home to all sorts of different animals like a terrarium and they go "what is this? Some sort of Ark (Survival Evolved)?
2024 still waiting…..
Ye
It is supposed to come out this year, and they can take as long as they want as long as its good.
Yeah where is it
Soon
Paramount plus according to their twitter
“Ah yes, it’s everything I could’ve hoped for. Truly beautiful.”
-Me finding out they didn’t just kill the dodo immediately and now it’s gets to be a travel companion
Looking forward to this a lot, Ark has a great story if you dig through the notes
True the story should be more presented in the next game cause Its really hard to get the story through random hidden notes
we all know if those ants where accurate the show would have 1 episode
Good comment
They be munching and chomping when they get to you
I have those titanomyra drones and soldiers!
You do know they respawn after death right? :D This is basicly ARK
@@augiz261 on the lore when helena apeared there was no respawn, it was added by helena when she became good and shit
2:22 I thought the Ark game was cool but, this animation series is even better.
I love how they feature native Americans in this. As a native myself, I'm excited to see Zhan McLarnon as thunder comes charging in ark!
For those confused by the first quarter of the trailer; Helena's wife, Victoria Walker, joins an unspecified high risk mission and is killed. The grief-struck Helena is implied to overdose and die, her consciousness then awakening in a new body on the Island through her 'engrammic matrix' having been recovered and stored far in the future by the people behind the ARK project, then planted on the Island ARK. The matrix was basically a freshly discovered part of the brain that remained recoverable even after many years of decay, capable of storing the person's DNA, personality and memories - this is why the ARKs are populated by people from vastly different cultures and time periods. Cue the epic but not very well known story of Helena and the other explorer note writers.
Thx helps a lot
Is that part of the lore in the game?
@@paulrichardson2554 Yes. The concept and specifics of the engrammic matrixes are explained in the Extinction explorer notes. Helena, just like all the other humans that live in the ARKs, are recreations made from the information stored in their engrammic matrixes.
Hehe
@@paulrichardson2554yeah, those notes u find everywhere in the map are from the characters in the trailer
I can't wait to see this! I've played the game and I'd hope something good out of it and it has with this animated series! Bring it on!
Bro who hasn't played the game and knows about this
Yeah the series sounds sick as hell
Wildcard has gone Woke.
@@Coldfront-sg3tt bruh. How, this isn’t even fully canon lol

The Dodo is going to save the entire show 🦤 💪
If that dodo dies the show 📉📉📉

I kinda hope Alan Tudyk has a dual role in this and also voices Dodo like he did Hei hei in Moana! 🤣
The man went to Julliard!! Give him more bird roles!
It the new baby Yoda!!!!!!
Yeah but it should had make an dodo army with that you could even kill a giga
I love how Helena gets tek weaponry but still has hide armor throughout the entire trailer
And the onlh tame she has is the dodo lol
"My name is Bob" classic
Hopefully this gives some depths on how earth turned out like it is now and how everyone escaped to the ark
Génesis 1, fix errores and HLNA Will Tell a little bit about It.
people where cloned from differnt times and but into ark thats why you have people from ancient eghypt 3000 years ago or people from the the present who know how to use tek and meks.
The answer is literally in the game
@@vladienee9367 also ppl from the far future?
@@bronx2964 no , no people from the future technically just people from modern times and the past which wouldd be quite a bit in the future from where we are but not in the game if you understand what I mean.
I hope they don’t lag… that base looked pretty big.. especially with all that fire I’m sure some will crash 🤣
They have to put a scene with lag in would be perfect
I feel this on a personal level.
I can practically see the blue screen
Hopefully at very least we see a Beach Bob starting his day way off in the distance when he looks up on to the hill and sees that mega base and instantly crashes XD
Please don't make us wait too long.
This show looks so good from 1:23 and on. I can't wait to watch this show. Western animation has really stepped up their game since anime has been a thing.
@@LogicWinsEventually like what?
@@LogicWinsEventually plenty of anime already takes inspiration from western animation and vice versa lmao it isnt that deep
Bro just say you're homophobic
@@Auduuxx Right there with you Antoniojem, He may not but I will. Woke introduced to a production company that has scammed and lied to thousands. Seems very fitting. Really unnecessary and once more implementing Woke crap without any genuine foundation behind it. Typical and why Woke Writers are bad. Who foundation of the Character they want us to like is based off being a lesbo. Which mind you, Most Men, HAVE NO ISSUES WITH LESBOS we would like to see more many many more of them, A WHOLE lot more of them. Preferably the Attractive ones, and not the ones that didn't care for themselves and got all fat and fugly and became lesbos because dudes wouldn't touch them and they still need love and all. That's ALL totally welcomed. But, Ranting here.
Heavy Caution is warranted though. Disney is far more established than ANY other entertainment industry and they are taking MASSIVE hits from all fronts due to the Woke crap. Does Ark seriously want to alienate their fan base by not staying at the VERY LEAST neutral on the subject. Or do what many other series have done, First two seasons completely normal and than third season woke it so when it crashes and burns atleast you made some level of monies. Sorta like how Ark and Atlas came to be. Like that.
Most People and by most I mean the 99.96% of the population can totally get behind a female character, which Ark users are more than happy to follow the Female lead. Totally cool with that. But what is missing in cinema is character developments, We want pain, suffering, character purpose, goals, feelings and thoughts.
If the most you can come up with is, "I'm Lesbo and Great at everything I do because I'm lesbo." Well... I sense a lot of money going down the drain for 00.04% of the population. Just a Thought.
Finally we will know the past of helena before and during the Ark
Edit: hoped that after the main story, they show us the history of our characters until genesis 2
It's not game canon, so not exactly
@@polskistalker but admit it, you want to see on the screen how we restore the earth and what happens in genesis and know why Santiago is on the ship
@@Predaking_999 I do, but it's not likely to happen. I'm welcome to be corrected in future though
@@polskistalker and l hope you will be corrected to!!
@@polskistalker proof?
This voice cast is actually nuts, and the exec producers is insane, hard to believe this little game I started playing in 2015 is getting this big. Some of the most best times I've had playing video games was experiencing Ark, hope this show can capture some of that feeling for people
Yeah, me 2. If anyone in June 2015 told me this I would laugh at him...
It already does for example helena gets immediately attacked
I'm blown away that they actually went back in-game to have some of the voice cast actually do the explorer's notes. Started playing solo on Scorched Earth recently after a couple years hiatus and it couldn't believe I was hearing David Tennant as Rockwell from one of the original non-Genesis related entries.

Same this is so awesome
Things I've noticed, First Meiyin is the one who fights the broodmother, helena uses a tek rifle which normally wouldn't be seen until Abberation in the notes. A leeds attacked a megalodon. Helena fighting, more interactions with Nerva who she only would have met after the Megapithicus fight. Rather then athena the argentavis, helena is here seen riding a parasaur mostly and carrying around a dodo. The meiyin meeting also seems to be different.
Edit 1: Meiyin and Nerva meet on the battlefield rather then at the overseer arena. There is also a lack of guns, something we know the new legion had and used.
The current story is amazing, i hope the animated actually stays close to the actual lore.
@bonemarrow3439 I hope so too, would suck if they changed it too much, especially Rockwell, Helena, and Meiyin. They have such good story arks and it would suck if they ruined it by changing the story too drastically.
I thought you couldn't spawn in water but then I did.

Been playing ARK for almost 5 years, can’t believe I made it far enough to see Wildcard make an animated series out of my favorite game.
Edit: hope Bob doesn’t die 💀
Sadly he is on a beach, tis his fate. Oh and dodos. ALL THE DODOS...
He is doomed to see his thatch hut get raided every day. life on the beach is hard.
He’s a male character with this type of animation. No chance he lives.
Hopefully a new bob appears in every episode either as a cameo or for some comic relief
Bob cannot die, because Bob is not just a person. Bob if a part of the natural order of the beaches, one will always wash ashore 😂
" Hi, I am Bob " - Brilliant.
I am and have been and will continue to be SO excited for this, holy crap, I hope they go through all the core maps and storylines! Maybe 6 seasons, a season per map? No idea, but OMG PLEASE LEMME WATCH.

@@matthewbaker2373 Yes. By the looks of this show, they remove Scorched and Abberation. So sad...
@@gecko-saurus Lore wise, Scorched earth is pretty irrelevant... I'm sure we'll see Abberation at some point, but story wise that would seem a long way ahead tho
@@Vradica No its not irrelevant. Scorched Earth is meant to give them understanding about how the ARKs are designed to keep them from becoming too successful.
There's something very poetic about Helena's story in her past life she committed suicide out of grief. Now reborn through cloning, she has to find the will to survive and fight.
This looks very promising, good job wildcards !
The spider HAS THE SIZE OF THE GREEN OBELISCK
FINALLY, people can understand the Ark Lore like me!!! I won’t be alone anymore!!! Also I am very excited to see how much they do with the new show cause I am a massive fan of Ark! THE ANIMATION LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!
Average ark lore enjoyer
....you come into this world alone....you die alone....but on the Ark...your never truly alone 👍
It’s a living hell to experience the lore yourself, but it’s a rewarding experience. Hopefully a lot of people who don’t have that kind of commitment will enjoy this!
I’ve played this game since Alpha release! I watched how it grew and changed and got better and better all the way until it’s official release! I played so many hours with this game with many friends, who I unfortunately seem to have lost contact with. But nevertheless, this show looks like it’ll rekindle so many memories of surviving, taming, building, and fighting to survive! So many wonderful fun memories this game brought!
The animation is so beautiful!
I seriously can't wait for it!!!
There is something about Gerard Butler saying "Do you not realize what can happen when a man defies the gods!?" that awakens something nostalgic yet primal inside me heart, only to be followed by the banger of a line "Give me a thousand lives and I will give you a thousand deaths!" HOLY SHI-
This looks so good Mei and Bob look like total badasses and I can't wait to see Mei and Nerva go head to head

By a %$#@#%$ pack of raptors.
She goes into a cave and insta dies for going out of bounds.
I think that's gonna happen in the scene were the raptors attack and when mei yin is fighting Nevara
I love how it seems the explorer notes actually did tell most this story already but now we actually get to see it all unfold I really hope every season is a different ark and it goes in order of how they came out.
But that also means it would end when extinction starts because we're following Helena's story.
they also seemed to change it a little from canon
They could switch and follow someone else like Mey or santiago
Looking forward to seeing the roman antagonist in the show he was cool in the explorer notes story
@@jackhastings8985 yess Nerva
this looks so good so far! We've had some great video game adaptations lately, excited to see the trend continue with my favorite game of all time.
The animation is very impressive
tv/streaming series seem to be the way to go for video game adaptations, movies miss all of the nuance of games.
Usually when i get bored in ark i start reading survivor notes and read those stories and imagine how they wouldve played out
Seeing as soon enough i can actually watch it play out just makes me so excited
Same!
This is incredible, Will definitely be watching this whole series!!
yoo anthomnia! i agree, the show looks so good so far from the trailer

He not deserve this name, the legend of Ark should not be dirtied by a inférior copy
@@warrick1910 excuse me but please explain cuz that made literally no sense
This looks amazing! I’m so excited, the animation is already good enough but just the fact the story of Ark is getting this kind of treatment is so fantastic to me. Even seeing Bob with the dodo made me so stupidly happy, and later Helena carrying it alongside the journey made me so happy. My first ever take was a dodo and I used to do that all the time. I’m beyond hyped, can’t wait!
One time in ark me and a friend were imprisoned and told if I beat boxed and he rapped they may let us free. I'm a decent beat boxer and my friend managed to come up with some funny bars and they not only let us free but gave us a ton of stuff for they were an alpha tribe. I'm sure nothing in this show will replicate that but the hope that something similar would happen is enough to watch besides the fact that THIS LOOKS AMAZING AND IM WATCHING IT REGARDLESS! lmao looks like a passion project and I have high hopes for this.
That default character at the beginning, lmao! I'll love the references to the game's situations!
at the end and at 2:30 , something about the theme song of ark just sends chills down my spine. It is so nostalgic and just really really damn good. Thanks for being a part of my childhood ARK team. thank you for making me and my friendgroup at the time!
5th grade me and a friend of mine made a presentation about dinosaurs and made it like the dossiers you find on ark and showed it to class. Had so much fun making that. That was close to summer of 2016. And here I am in 2023 revisiting all of the ark maps and am having a blast. Excited to watch the show and witness the stories that we have only been able to read about.
This show is exactly like the game! Delayed for long stretches of time and vague details on a release date, maybe the characters with longnecks and crossbows will have to put their weapon away and reequip it before they can reload too
I am legit crying. This is perfect
SAMEEEE

Indeed i want to watch this now it is crazy that they are showing the characters before they get to the ark
Me too I’ve been with ark so long It’s amazing to see how far it’s come
Hey no one is judging you let it alllll out my guy
This looks stunning. I’m very excited to see such detailed backstories for the characters, and seeing our favorite ( and ugh, piranhas) dinosaurs animated looks awesome! I’m so hype for this show!!!
man it's impossible not to get emotional when listening to these ark soundtracks, they are simply amazing
Pov: you came from a popup in arkmobile while trying to tame a griffin
Now we just need ARK to have a completely impossible crossover with Critical Role, and the internet would implode.
It's this new generation of unapologetic adult-level North American animation style that's finally distinguishing itself as an entertainment form, post-DC John Constantine's Justice League, and I'm loving it!
Impossible? How about an Ark-themed one-shot?
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought of this
Bleh, South Park ruined adult animation. Fuck that show.
Yes. Great to see quality animation outside the anime genre.
Thanks ark for a serious one that looks very good
Unless I see someone knocked out by troodons over and over in this show then it’s not real ark

This looks like it has potential. I can't really understand what they're saying but as long as they don't focus on the lives before too much and concentrate enough time towards crafting, building, exploring, and working together, I know I will love it.
I don't know.. they r showing Helena past and her going through depression and killing herself. And once she's on the island she seems like a damsel in distress. Idk about u but in the ark notes she seemed to know how to get around the island fine and she was fascinated with her new world as a biologist. I'm not saying they won't show her being a biologist but it seems they made her have a "rough past" to make her more deep which Is retarded. Even tho she never mentions her past in the notes nor is ever depressed in the notes I have a feeling this is not gonna be good
If you want a taste of what the story will be based on, it’s not hard to find a chronological collection of all the explorer notes online!
Im honestly just confused by the begining as its something that isnt talked about in the lore as far as i know. I always thought helena rockwell santiago and co were the first people on the arks. Always wanted to see the story of what came before.
