CULVER
CITY, Calif., June 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Snail, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNAL)
("Snail Games" or the "Company"), a leading global independent
developer and publisher of interactive digital entertainment
celebrates the integration of the iconic POWER RANGERS franchise
into ARK: Survival Ascended via Snail's modding partnership with
CurseForge. CurseForge, the world's largest repository of mods and
addons for video games, yesterday announced a collaboration with
Hasbro to bring the iconic POWER RANGERS franchise into ARK:
Survival Ascended. Read the full announcement here.
Complete with unique abilities and gear, this ARK x POWER
RANGERS mod adds a fresh layer of excitement to the game. Such
additions not only enhance player experience but also demonstrate
the game's versatility and commitment to continuous improvement.
This mod is a first for the POWER RANGERS and further solidifies
ARK: Survival Ascended as a leader in cross-platform in-game
modding, with over 100 million mods downloaded across consoles and
PCs.
The introduction of the ARK x POWER RANGERS mod showcases Studio
Wildcard and Snail, Inc.'s dedication to enhancing the player
community's experience and expanding the ARK franchise in
innovative ways. Jeremy Stieglitz,
co-founder at Studio Wildcard, recently discussed the dynamic
modding system of ARK: Survival Ascended on the NAAVIK gaming
podcast, emphasizing how it keeps the game fresh and customizable:
"One of the unique aspects of ARK's modding structure is the
ability to create standalone experiences or stack multiple mods,
allowing players to tailor their gameplay uniquely."
ARK: Survival Ascended's robust modding opportunities not only
keep the game engaging for users but also address a significant gap
in the gaming industry. Stieglitz highlighted the potential for
aspiring developers: "the key here for us to think about is how can
we fill that gap of somebody who maybe wants to dip their toe into
the realm of making a career out of gaming without necessarily
having to go and form a studio and raise capital and all that."
ARK's modding program, powered by Unreal Engine 5, offers a
unique opportunity for creators to make games with professional
tools and directly monetize their content across multiple gaming
platforms, including PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. In this way the
modding program lowers the barrier to entry for creators into the
gaming market, supports independent game development, and enhances
revenue growth through the continuous influx of new, engaging
content. A vibrant, engaged player base leads to sustained revenue
through game sales, DLCs, and microtransactions. Moreover, the
game's ability to continuously attract new players and retain
existing ones through innovative mods is a testament to its
long-term growth potential.

Survival Ascended, including the newly released ARK x POWER RANGERS
mod, visit CurseForge.
