Why is Vin Diesel in ARK 2?
Vin Diesel appears to be taking a starring role both in the game and behind the scenes. The Fast & Furious star was introduced in the Genesis Expansion to ARK: Survival Evolved and his character will presumably continue the story in this next-gen release.
Away from the mo-cap of the game it also appears as though Vin Diesel will be taking a leading role at Studio Wildcard as an executive producer on the game.
According to Doug Kennedy, CEO of Studio Wildcard, Diesal has played “1000’s of hours of ARK: Survival Evolved,” and following the reveal of the sequel Diesel said he was having a lot of fun playing ARK as well as being really excited to join the Studio Wildcard team to develop the story both in-game and in the upcoming animated series.
