I went from very excited for ARK 2 down to better wait and see. Souls-Like and Third Person only doesn't really sound that promising, last time they had a third person only game ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/529180/Dark_and_Light/) using the ARK formula it was not good at all. From what I can tell using the limited info available, the game is trying to be ARK with souls-like elements and bits of newer assassins creed games. I feel that at the very least having the option of 1st person is a very important feature that will keep ARK 2 feeling like a squeal and not just a different game with ARK in the title.
