Ark 2 will have Souls-like combat, meaning it⛄s enemies will likely be difficult to take out and require a few tries to actually defeat. So we hope lead actor Vin Diesel has good stamina. 

Following its appearance during the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox and Bethesda Showcase 2022 over the weekend, it has been revealed that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ark 2 will have "Souls-like combat." If you didn’t know, 'Souls-like' refers to a type of game that often has a high level of difficulty and where it is expected for players to die in-game repeatedly. Made famous by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware’s back catalogue, the kind of games associated with this sort of gameplay include 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne. 

So Ark 2 players should definitely go into the sequel expecting to take a hit or two during their playthrough. According to developer Studio Wildcard, the survival game will have "heavy skill-based, Souls-likཧe action" which has been described as "an innovative direction rarely experienced in a PVP-based survival game."

Studio Wildcard also shares that Lost Ark 2 will feature third-person gameplay with "advanced character traversal mechanics include mantling, free-climbing, parkour, sliding, a♒nd swinging".

In case you missed it, we did get 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a brand new trailer for Ark 2 last weekend which saw new lead protagonist Santiago, aka Vin Diesel, riding a T-Rex. We also saw a glimpse of Santiago’s daughter Meeka (who is voiced by Disney’s Moana star Auli'i Cravalho). Unfortunately, the trailer did 💟also reveal that Ark 2 has been delayed until 2023, so we will have to wait a little bit longer to see Vin Diesel take down a dinosaur.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Twoꦐ PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
