ARK: Survival Evolved ALL Full Cutscenes + NEW Lore Update! 

Unlike most games today I have followed arks story from the very beginning, watched all the theories with Ante, played all the maps at least once, and crashed more than The amount of hours I've put into this game. I've loss countless dinos in stupid, frustrating and sad ways. Watched friends come and go as we play this game together, slayed great monsters by myself, only for my little brother to erase my save file lol. In the end what always struck me is the atmosphere and sense that your story only ends when you give up. I love this game through thick and thin till this game even at the most frustrating moments. Thank you ark for all you are and aren't!

Funny how most ark players don't see it

​@@agoogleuser1570 I like to think most ark players are represented by the people on the arks in the last extinction cutscenes. Never ascended/fought the bosses, but survived on the arks.

​@@greattitan371 Yeah that sounds about right

@@agoogleuser1570 I think you could probably count on one hand the number of people who have beat alpha king titan on official pvp servers. That always makes me a little happy to think about.

Exactly

When did that happen? Cus I don’t remember that from the original Aberration. Or any of the stuff with Helena for that matter

@@totallynotalpharius That's why they used the word "now", lol. So yeah, it's been added shortly before this video was released.

@@smilloww2095 . . . Huh

@@totallynotalpharius hmm?

Just one, split in half

Very few games make me as emotional as ARK does. Did anyone consider similarities of ARK element with C&C tiberium? :)

Goose bumps for me 😁

I genuinely think of ark is done properly, proper actors etc a good director.. I feel legitimately like it could be the next Star Wars.. maybe a trilogy fallowing the 3 Santiago’s?

Right?

Ikr

Helena became a robot?

@@HNIN1973 she ascended

@@nielsvanhoudt6151what does it mean by she ascended I’m so confused does it mean she died or like what

@@JU1CET1N It's part of the lore, but basically there's a class of humans that transcend and become energy. When we 'ascend' we just move to another Ark, but she stayed that energy form. That's why she looks all ghostly and surreal when we speak to her. Apparently these special ascended people (I think the 'Homo Deus' but I'm unsure) eventually exist for so long in that state that they lose their humanity, memories, sanity etc. She says most of them can't communicate with her anymore.

Not with that attitude

It’s the thought that counts 🫡

Mei yin brought a giga to the megapithicus so it must be possible

@@toxicannon3670 didn't she also KO tame a Rock Drake?

@@Hazearil I believe so yes

Ark 2 theme is so good bro, the music helps make it feel like a true teaser for the next game

@@mikeH824 IKR 🥰🥰

Hey, thank wildcard for making them :)

…I’m just glad I got to see them.

Huh, look at that. Ark 2 is drawing near.

@@jdamian0247 Ah, I remember what it was like to be filled with hope

Yeah im so happy they did this. Scorched earth not having an ascension scene felt so wrong. Also Rockwell not being able to talk didnt make any sense.

good question i was wondering that too

She's still a construct, so she would theoretically be capable of upload a backup of her mind somewhere to survive her physical body being destroyed. But, she was almost out of time, and spent that time with Edmund instead.

I love the cutscenes except for the Helena introductions. I feel like those should definitely have been left out, yeah.

That plan was to never release one, but then wild card realized if they wanted the story to make sense they HAD to release it.

Agreed

Aberration instilled fear and excitement in every corner. Its the best map for anyone to start out. If you can survive this map, other maps are a piece of cake. Aberration is Nightmare fuel compared to every map as well as being the most serene and beautiful map on top of it. Every corner you are in awe of how stunning the world looks.

Kinda has a "Journey to the Center of the Earth" feel to it, doesn't it?

I wonder how Aberration will look in Ark Ascended 😮

(we hope)

Also ARK 2 is going to be very different from ARK 1 in terms of gameplay (according to Wildcard). I get a feeling its not going to be everyone's cup of tea.

​@@Myne1001I think it's going to go either more story or gameplay but probably not both.

All he did was post in game cutscenes in order i dont disagree that he isnt great at sharing the ark lore but i dont see this as a very good example

@@P3rsonL Maybe, but I still like the video.

He won't do the maps after aberration he said so in a stream.

Well, "the best": he had sounds in from something like a device disconnecting during the Aberration ascension, and was shooting a Tek Rifle during Rockwell's voicelines.

@@Hazearil He still tells the lore the way that I like. Not saying other people's ways are bad, just that this one works the best for me .

They really should’ve added a cutscene to explain this.

Glitches

That’s cause before they updated the ascension to the new voice actor, she did in fact say element.

When did we "know she was gay" i think they just added that for the LGBTQ, or because they thought it would be weird to have no gay people in their whole series

@Zane Willavize I can't remember which ones exactly but I think there was something mentioning it on her island explorer notes

The fear and heartbreak rockwell was going through I feel could be perfectly relayed to the audience thanks to David tenant.

At the end of the day rockwell was a simple man at heart with a goal and desire to be intelligent, that goal drove him to madness and made him the beast he was, in his last moments he was human, even for the last time. Sorry for the obituary of rockwell lol

Dilo spit

@@cysgod45 😂😂😂

Maybe we find out in ark 2

Yeah I want more people to ask about the survivor :( Personally, I think the survivor returns on the new planet, still in tek suit. Probably with tek helmet on all the time to not show who he is cause its a player-made character, turned NPC in ark 2. Like they did with the main character in Far cry 5 who became an NPC in Far cry new dawn

@@tekark_01 was it ever confirmed that the deputy and judge were the same person?

Yes supposedly he is, we already know that the game offers both a story mode and a customizable character sandbox game

My pleasure! Stay tuned as I'm putting out ALL new Rockwell lines too.

I was a little disappointed myself. Howrver we have confirmation from the current writer on what happened. Ill be explaining that in one of the next summary videos :)

Oh well, those are amazing news, I can't wait for that!

@@NeddyTheNoodle So they explain what went wrong post-Extinction like how our character went from cleansing the Earth, the arks landing then *poof* suddenly our body is in a hibernation pod on a colony ship bound for another planet? ^^;

Well we know that Helena was uploaded to the Genesis Simulation at Arat Prime on Earth and created HLN-A who got on the Genesis Colony Ship. Which means the simulation acts as a vary long wireless connection between Earth and the ship. So I’ve always assumed that after we killed the King Titan and saved Earth, Helena realized we were strong enough to save the colony ship as well, so she uploaded us through the simulation too. As for Rockwell, in one of his last notes on Aberration it states that when he became the new Overseer he gained the knowledge in the Ark’s dada base, witch is probably how he knew about the Genesis Ship in the first place. And because of the post credit scene for Extinction we know that he survived when Aberration fell to Earth. So again I’ve always assumed that he found his to Arat Prime and uploaded himself to the simulation to get to the ship too. These are just my thoughts based the facts and implications we have, and as someone who is vary interested in ark lore I think this is the most likely way of how it happened, but we don’t know for sure until someone who actually worked on the game confirms it.

The best way to interpret is that despite defeating Edmund on the Aberration, he survived, and when Helena called down the ARK's, despite that ARK's damage, it was called down to earth as well... with the Rockwell entity aboard. This brought a seed of corruption and the human tribes unified together against him as the federation. When they had believed they defeated the Rockwell entity, they began launching ships into space to explore new planets, using the history of the Ark's as a simulation to train future explorers as survivors but unfortunately, the Rockwell entity survived the federations onslaught and existed on-board the Genesis 1 seed ship, where H.L.N.A over rides your cryostasis pod and frees you before Edmund's tendrils infect you.

Not true bro, aberrations terrain is mostly the same, while ravagers were already there

@@dabirby2305 I thought aberration was once like extinction but Rockwell experimented with element ingesting it, becoming the creature you fight on Abberation that was once Rockwell pretty much terraformed the ark changing it and it's creatures

@@akcr2889 aberration once was the island, until santiago blew up a part of it with a tek bomb, thinking it was a prison, and that broke the artificial atmosphere, stopping the sun from burning them alive, so they dug out a cave to survive the sun, and also built the portal to escape to extinction, so the cave was from santiago (with rockwell most likely partially helping make it bigger)

Actually, the caves were already present to some extent prior to Diana and Santiago presenting the Overseer with the fabled tek pipe bomb, so at the very least the Fertile Chambers and perhaps the Bioluminescent Chambers were already present at that time. The Elemental Chambers were most likely either the ARK's infrastructure that ended up being exposed and morphed into what it is now following the Overseer Station crash landing and falling to the bottom of the ARK, or was originally it's iteration of the Tek Cave given the presence of the portal to the Overseer Station at the bottom of the Drake Trench and the pathway leading there bearing some similarities to that of The Island's TC. From the very beginning, Ab was likely one of the more "experimental" ARKs like SE. Element ore nodes were present both on the surface and upper layer caverns even before the pipe bomb incident so the survivors never even needed to fight the Guardians for access to the valuable resource, and the surface itself was likely more comparable to the Fertile Chambers. It's possible that either the Overseer itself, in its last moments of functionality, or the back-up programming of the ARK stopped the regeneration of element ore nodes within all but the surface and elemental chambers while also creating the Nameless and Reapers to punish the survivors for the pipe bomb incident, in a manner similar to what happened with the people of Nosti on SE. Most other native species were likely already present on the ARK, much akin to SE's own cast of unique fictional beasts.

​@@akcr2889Helena wrote dossiers for all of the aberration creatures before Rockwell took over it so ravagers and reapers and nameless and seekers and such all existed before rockwell

very soon :)
