Community Crunch 401: Introducing Bob's Tall Tales!



Download in full resolution

Gather 'round the campfire, Survivors! Everyone who’s played has a story about the first Bob they encountered on an ARK… Now the legendary ARK veteran Bob -- voiced by Karl Urban -- is ready to share his incredibly true adventures with you for the first time! Nothing can prepare you for the wonder and two-fisted action of Bob's Tall Tales!
Piece together Bob's larger-than-life ARK saga by recovering his animated Explorer Notes! You’ll feel like you were right there with Bob from the beginning, as he describes his pivotal role in ARK’s history to young Meeka -- voiced by Auliʻi Cravalho.

We're planning to release the first animated Explorers Notes on March 31st, pending certification. We'll keep you updated!




We've released an update this week to prepare for the upcoming Scorched Earth expansion. The goal is to get the changes out sooner so the Scorched Earth patch isn't as big to download on launch day and also helps our team identify issues before that major release! Check out the full post here.
