“2K and Turtle Rock Studios did a remarkable job delivering such a
creative and ambitious game,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. “Evolve
is an innovative and highly replayable experience that will
define this console generation for years to come.”
Evolve features a wealth of content playable both online
and offline, with three playable Monsters, 12 playable Hunters across
four unique classes, four game modes, and 16 maps. Evolve also
includes Evacuation, a unique experience that combines the full
array of maps, modes, Hunters, and Monsters into a single dynamic
campaign offering near-limitless variety. In Evacuation, players
choose a side – Monster or Hunter – and play through a series of five
matches, where the outcome of each match directly impacts the next,
totaling over 800,000 possible gameplay combinations for ultimate
replayability.
“Our philosophy is to build incredibly fun game experiences that we
can’t find anywhere else, and we’ve achieved that with Evolve,”
said Chris Ashton, co-founder and design director at Turtle Rock
Studios. “After years of iteration and playing the game every day, Evolve
is a polished and balanced experience for players to enjoy
online, cooperatively with friends against AI, or completely alone
offline.”
About Evolve
From Turtle Rock Studios, creators of Left 4 Dead, comes Evolve,
the highly anticipated shooter in which 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 now available worldwide for Xbox One,
PlayStation®4 system, and Windows PC. Evolve is rated M
for Mature by the ESRB. For more information on Evolve,
