Hot on the heels of their recent release of Cascadia, into Steam Early Access, Dire Wolf Digital has just announced that they will soon be bringing a digital port of Ark Nova to Early Access as well.
Released in 2021, Mathias Wigge’s award-winning heavy economic and environmental strategy board game Ark Nova tasks players with building modern, scientifically managed zoos.
We’re excited to bring the iconic board game to digital platforms, with a host of quality new features that you’ve come to expect from Dire Wolf’s digital board games.

Here are more details from Dire Wolf’s release:
In Ark Nova, players compete to build a modern, scientifically managed zoo. But there’s a lot more to a zoo than just having pretty animals — victory is measured both by appeal and conservation, and the player who strikes the best balance between the two will emerge the victor.
Ark Nova is filled with rich mechanics that aim to capture the realities of running a modern zoo in a deeply strategic and highly replayable experience. You’ll choose from a large variety of animals, construct buildings, work with Sponsors to gain special bonuses, and participate in a variety of research and conservation efforts in order to create the most attractive zoo.
We’ll have more to say about Ark Nova Digital in upcoming preview articles as we draw closer to its Early Access release on Steam. In the meantime, be sure to wishlist the game today!
Ark Nova is a bit heavier than the usual board games I tend to play, however, I have no doubt that with the approachable tutorials and intuitive digital releases that Dire Wolf puts out, that, like Matt Damon, I’ll be be buying a zoo as soon as Ark Nova digital releases.
