From the streets of Brazil, to a prison spacecraft, it seems Vin Diesel's status as a badass actor has brought him across multiple universes. He even gets a chance to traverse a dinosaur filled battleground in the upcoming video game, Ark 2. He admitted his fandom for the game, spending countless hours grinding his way.
But recent reports surfaced where his role isn't just focused on him being the main protagonist of the game as Diesel will be involved in something bigger. He is now the executive producer for both Ark 2 and Ark the animated series. His passion for the game was evident when a Tweet mentioned his role in addressing a glitch.

He even became an executive producer for the action film, XXX, though his film was bombed by critics. His current role could serve as a redemption arc. So far, his producer roles are limited to action themed projects and this latest game does suit his strengths.
This will be Diesel's first involvement in a video game. This is no easy task not only for his inexperience but also because of the game's negative image.
Studio Wildcard, the game's developers, are hoping that his efforts in the Fast and Furious franchise will translate to their upcoming projects as well. They're also banking on his appeal similar to how Keanu Reeves brought hype in Cyberpunk 2077.
