Ark: Survival Evolved’s new update adds randomaly generated maps

The fight against dinosaurs is about to get a lot more random.

The dino-themed Ark: Survival Evolved has received a new update that adds procedurally generated maps, meaning that new areas in the game will have randomized landscapes and features. Ark is currently playable via early access on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The game has been in that state for a long, originally releasing its early access version for PC in June 2015. Developer Studio Wildcard has even released an expansion for Ark, but it’s still not in its final release and continually receives new features like this.
