About ARK: Survival Of The Fittest

ARK: Survival of the Fittest is a competitive spin-off of ARK: Survival Evolved, billed by Studio Wildcard as the first M.O.S.A., or Multiplayer Online Survival Arena, and built with eSports in mind. It takes the survival sandbox of the original and compresses it into a fast, elimination-driven contest where as many as 72 combatants fight toward a single epic showdown that only one Tribe walks away from.

Matches begin with players gathered in a neutral staging area to communicate, strategize or trade insults before a countdown sends them dramatically descending from the sky in a circular formation. A cache of valuable items sits at the center, forcing an immediate decision: rush in and fight for the loot, flee into the forest to hide, or hunt down dinosaurs to quickly build an army. You can go it alone or form Tribes of up to six, choosing between Unofficial and Official ranked servers as well as a variety of match lengths and sizes.

Starting in the base forest environment from the original ARK, the arena expands with new creatures and settings as the game evolves. Dedicated ranking, matchmaking, reward and tournament features are built to make this strategy-tinged survival brawler accessible to competitive players of all levels.
