After years in Early Access, the dinosaur sandbox tamer has finally left the wilderness for a full release.
Ark: Survival Evolved is just about to drop in Australia. To celebrate, we've teamed up with Studio Wildcard to give away 10 copies of the game!
Yesterday, Wildcard's dinosaur extravaganza Ark: Survival Evolved finally launched after two years in early access development. Things didn't get off to the smoothest of starts, however, with several unforeseen technical issues leading to the game's official servers coming online later than expected. Eventually, that issue was resolved, but players almost immediately ran into another: There simply don't appear to be enough servers to go around.
Remember when Studio Wildcard said it was going to wipe the Ark: Survival Evolved servers prior to launch, and then it said it wouldn't?

Who really designed Ark: Survival Evolved? A lawsuit, filed late last year, alleges that there's a messy story behind the development of one of Steam's biggest hits.
