Aside from appearing in Ark II, he’s also an EP
Not only is Vin Diesel acting inArk II– a wonderfullybewildering revelationfrom The Game Awards last week – he’s also an executive producer on the sequel, and he’s apparently a big fan ofArkin general.
According to Studio Wildcard CEO Doug Kennedy, Diesel is an “accomplished gamer who has played 1000s of hours ofArk: Survival Evolved.” I will never, under any circumstances, unlearn this fact.
“I’m having a lot of fun playingArkand also really excited to join the Studio Wildcard team to develop the story both in-game and in the new animated series,” Diesel said in a press release. Kennedy added that “he understands the game intimately and is providing direct feedback to the development process.”
Shedding a bit more light on Diesel’s character, the actor is playing Santiago, “a full rendered hero protagonist” – though it’s worth noting thatArk IIis still going to be an “online multiplayer sandbox.”
I’m curious to see how this all pans out.Ark IIis far from Diesel’s first appearance in a major video game (and I’m sure he’s cleared the thousand-hour mark in other games too), but the role is a head-turner.
Ark IIwill be a PC and “Xbox Series X/S console launch exclusive” in 2022.
