Snail Games Celebrates ARK Franchise's 10-Year Anniversary with New Content and Global Community Events
CULVER CITY, Calif., June 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Snail, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNAL) ('Snail Games' or the 'Company'), a leading global independent developer and publisher of interactive digital entertainment, is proud to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of ARK: Survival Evolved ('ASE'), its flagship title and a pillar of its long-term success. Since its debut in Early Access in 2015, ARK has evolved into what we believe to be a world-renowned franchise with a massive player base, strong commercial performance, and an enduring presence in the sandbox survival gaming ecosystem.
With an install base of over 92.1 million for ARK: Survival Evolved and more than 3.7 billion hours of total playtime logged on Steam, the original title remains one of the most enduring and beloved survival games in the genre. ASE recorded 1.1 million Steam peak daily active users (DAU), a reflection of its global reach and dedicated community.
The next-generation remake, ARK: Survival Ascended ('ASA'), continues this legacy with a 4.2 million install base since launch in 2023 and more than 275 million hours played to date on Steam. ASA's peak DAU of 308,000 illustrates the strong adoption of the UE5-powered game, with more content, performance enhancements, and cross-platform innovations planned for future growth.
In December 2024, ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition launched globally. The mobile mode effectively reduces hardware barriers and extends the reach of the ARK franchise to a broader international and mobile-first audience. Since its release, the mobile title has exceeded 6.1 million downloads across iOS and Android platforms. With additional premium expansion maps slated for the rest of 2025, Snail Games continues to enhance the mobile experience and reinforce its commitment to growing the ARK franchise on mobile platforms.

Little Pepe Raises Over $3,500,000 as It Becomes Ethereum's Hottest Meme Token of 2025
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, July 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Little Pepe has rapidly emerged as Ethereum's hottest meme token of 2025, having raised over $3.5 million in its presale and currently in Stage 4 at a price of $0.0013. More than just a meme coin, Little Pepe combines viral appeal with real infrastructure, powered by a lightning-fast, low-cost Layer 2 EVM-compatible protocol designed for scalability and speed. Moreover, $LILPEPE, fuels the entire ecosystem and aims to bring utility to meme culture by enabling on-chain activity with ultra-low fees. As excitement builds, the project positions itself as the next big movement in the meme coin space—where utility meets entertainment and a new kingdom rises under the rule of Little Pepe. Memes Meet Utility in the Little Pepe Ecosystem Little Pepe is redefining what it means to be a meme coin by focusing on more than just viral hype. While many tokens rely on short-term attention, Little Pepe is built on real infrastructure — introducing a Layer 2 blockchain tailored for ultra-low fees, lightning-fast transactions, and massive scalability. In a space where Ethereum gas fees still hinder everyday use, Little Pepe stands out as a forward-thinking project offering real utility wrapped in meme-powered appeal. It acts as the main utility token throughout the Little Pepe community, permitting customers to pay for services, access features, and participate in governance over time. Despite being rooted in meme culture, Little Pepe's utility-based layout allows it to stand apart from projects that depend completely on network speculation. $LITTLE Raises Over $3.5M Currently in Stage 4 of its presale, $LILPEPE is being offered at $0.0013 per token — a strategic entry factor that has already attracted thousands of investors from around the world. With over $3.5 million raised so far, the mission has exceeded expectations and is quickly gaining traction throughout social media, Telegram groups, and crypto news outlets. This sort of early interest is an indication of developing self assurance in both the project's roadmap and its long-term vision. Unlike conventional meme coins that surge and crash primarily based on influencer tweets, Little Pepe is laying down solid infrastructure at the same time as growing its network organically. A Layer 2 Kingdom Built for the Future The phrase 'Little Pepe Chain' has quickly become synonymous with Ethereum Layer 2 innovation. Though still in development, the protocol promises to deliver a smoother, cheaper, and more accessible experience for users — especially those priced out of Ethereum mainnet activity. By incorporating Layer 2 technology into the very DNA of its offering, Little Pepe ensures that the network can grow without compromising on speed or decentralization. It's this blend of technical competence and cultural resonance that's fueling the project's exponential growth. You're Still Early — But Not for Long The presale is still ongoing, and crypto investors and holders have a chance to buy in at ground level before Little Pepe hits major exchanges. Given the current momentum, the token price is expected to rise in coming stages, and potential buyers are urged to act swiftly. As of now, $LILPEPE is only available for purchase on the official website: With over $3.5 million raised, the project is proving that meme coins can evolve — and lead — in a post-PEPE world. Furthermore, Little Pepe is more than just a viral token — it's a complete ecosystem. With its Layer 2 backbone, meme-fueled marketing, and rapidly growing community, it's positioned to outpace many meme tokens that came before it. About Little Pepe Little Pepe is a next-gen Layer 2 blockchain designed to merge meme culture with high-speed, low-cost decentralized infrastructure. Built for scalability, security, and accessibility, Little Pepe supports EVM-compatible applications and is powered by means of the $LILPEPE token. The project's mission is to create a meme coin environment wherein utility meets virality, empowering users through cutting-edge technology and lightning-fast transactions.
