Giganto Detailed in New ARK: Survival Evolved Trailer

That's bananas!

Ever wanted to tame a huge ape-like creature, then put a helmet on its head, ride it around, and have it toss you over walls in a strategic manner? Well, you're in luck, because ARK: Survival Evolved is promising to offer just that possibility.

Developer Studio Wildcard recently released a trailer outlining the Giganto, a (you guessed it), huge ape-like creature. Giganto is short for Gigantopithecus, for all you anthropology buffs out there. Players can find gigantos minding their own business out in the wild. If players can tame a giganto (by non-violent feeding methods), however, they can harness the beast's less peaceful side. Check it all out in the below trailer:

ARK: Survival Evolved will release later this year on PS4, Xbox One, and PC with up to 16-player online co-op. It is currently on Steam Early Access, and will also be part of Xbox One's Game Preview program (Xbox One's version of Early Access).
