"Thankfully the Gallimimus may very well be the fastest dinosaur on the ARK – it's strength, endurance and speed of its legs allow it to ferry up to three Survivors in a specially-designed Saddle!" said Studio Wildcard.
The patch will also bring some new items. According to Game Rant, "Ark: Survival Evolved" will introduce riot armors and shock prods. It will also have a greenhouse tile set which is made to enhance the game's agriculture mechanics with plant-growing benefits.
And since the game has been swamped with a number of bugs which resulted to frame-rate drops and server crashes, Studio Wildcard made sure to include some fixes. The addition of the split-screen support will help the Xbox One version be "the definitive way to play the game" once the patch is available next week..
Co-optimus noted that "Ark: Survival Evolved" is still an early access title. The game is set to release on June 2016 for PC, Xbox One and PS4. The patch is also expected to roll out beginning Feb. 10.
