During the The Game Awards 2020 we were all surprised to see Vin Diesel appear in the launch trailer for Ark 2, sequel to the famous Dinosaur-themed futuristic multiplayer survival. But what is a racing and explosion movie actor doing with lizards? As if we weren't confused enough already, it seems Vin Diesel will also be one of the producers of the new video game.
As reported by Eurogamer colleagues, Studio Wildcard explained in a statement that Vin Diesel joined the development team as an executive producer, also of the animated series dedicated to the video game where it will appear in the stellar cast already announced. And he doesn't end there: his official position is defined "President of the Creative Convergence“, A title that we have no idea what it could mean but that from now on we will always use to refer to Vin Diesel because yes.
Apparently the President of Creative Convergence is a huge Ark: Survival Evolved fan, to the point of having spent thousands of hours in the second game Doug Kennedy, CEO of Studio Wildcard. As President of Creative Convergence, the actor will continuously provide direct feedback to the development process, trying to keep the game connected with the animated series. The long-term goal of Wildcard and the President of Creative Convergence will be to expand the Ark franchise.
As for the release of Ark 2 and the animated series, we do not have precise dates yet, but it is conceivable that everything arrives in the 2022. Recall that in the animated series, in addition to the President of the Creative Convergence, there will be actors such as Gerard Butler, David Tennant, Elliot Page, Russel Crowe and many others, as visible from the trailer above.
