Is that Vin Diesel in the article photo?
I didn't know Ark belonged to Bethesda, but it was very troublesome at launch, hope 2 does a lot better.
It doesn't. This was a third party exclusivity deal. Although there's no info as to whether it's a timed deal or permanent deal.
Or not even exclusivity but some marketing deal or will just be revealed there. Some of the titles on SoP aren't exclusive in anyway just got revealed there.
It does have console exclusivity. At least for now. Aaron Greenberg said that it was going to launch as a console exclusive on Series X/S after the reveal trailer for the game was released, but that was at the Game Awards in 2020, and he specifically said "launch" as a console exclusive. So I'm leaning towards timed exclusivity.
Understood, I wasn't following the title so I wrongly assumed that this would be the reveal. Yes timed exclusivity makes more sense, but sure could be full.
Lots of bugs and issues but went on to sell over 16 million copies. So probably not too bad.
And that figure was as of 2019. So probably over 20 million copies by now. It's still wildly popular on PC
Financially it did great. Hopefully the 2nd is much more polished.
