4 Dead, today announced that their upcoming multiplayer shooter
experience Evolve™ will be released globally on October

dozen maps, providing gamers with incredible gameplay variety and nearly

Convention Center. Evolve is available now for pre-order

About Evolve
From Turtle Rock Studios, creators of Left 4 Dead, comes Evolve,
the next-generation of multiplayer shooters where four hunters face off
against a single, player-controlled monster in adrenaline-pumping 4v1
matches. Play as the monster to use savage abilities and an animalistic
sense to kill your human enemies, or choose one of four hunter classes
(Trapper, Support, Assault and Medic) and team up to take down the beast
on the planet Shear, where flora and fauna act as an adversary to man
and monster alike. Level up to unlock new hunter or monster characters
as well as upgrades, skins and perks. Earn your infamy on the
leaderboards and become the apex predator.
Evolve is not yet rated by the ESRB. For more information
