Here's an extended cut trailer for Ark: The Animated Series

Ark: The Animated Series has received an extended cut trailer.

Announced at The Game Awards 2020 alongside Ark 2, an extended cut trailer has been released for Ark: The Animated Series.

Studio Wildcard has partnered with director Jay Oliva (Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox) to executive produce and co-showrun the original animated television series based on the video game Ark: Survival Evolved.

It's coming to you courtesy of animation studio Lex + Otis and with music composed by Gareth Coker (Ori and the Will of the Wisps).

Created and executive produced by the game’s creators Jeremy Stieglitz and Jesse Rapczak, the series spans fourteen 30-minute episodes and has two seasons currently in production for a 2022 launch.

Lead writers Marguerite Bennett and Kendall Deacon Davis have written the scripts.

Studio Wildcard also announced that Vin Diesel has joined the company as president of Creative Convergence and will act as executive producer of both Ark 2 and the animated series.

Diesel will also lend his voice talents as Santiago, a fully rendered hero protagonist, who will cross over from the newly announced video game sequel to the animated television series.

Here's the synopsis:

The series chronicles the story of a land populated by dinosaurs and other extinct creatures, where people from throughout human history have been resurrected. When 21st-century Australian paleontologist Helena Walker awakes on the ARK after a tragedy, she must learn to survive and find new allies, or die again at the hands of ruthless warlords -- all while trying to uncover the true nature of their strange new world.
