The game's recent awards are indicative of a thirst for new IP, publisher says.
Back in 2016, Turtle Rock announced that support for its 4v1 monster-hunting shooter Evolve would end but fans wouldn't let it die.
From NME: "Evolve: Stage 2 had its multiplayer servers shut down back in 2018, but today players are once again able to matchmake and join peer-to-peer multiplayer games.
Several months ago, peer-to-peer functionality was lost for Evolve Legacy, which was the only way fans of the series could play with friends. Upon a multitude of players reaching out to publisher 2K, the issue was eventually fixed earlier in July. It seems 2K have gone a step further now, and reinstated peer-to-peer and matchmaking functionality for Evolve: Stage 2 after four years."
Yes so far because it's just the servers alone coming on and the console version never had the free-to-play update.
I imagine if they find people playing the PC version and enough players are enjoying it then they'd probably reconsider opening console as well but I wouldn't count on it.
The game was epic as a monster. Hunters were really boring to play as to me.
Christoph Hartmann, VP of Amazon Games, is confident that New World will be successful and show off what Amazon's game division can do.
See all you have to do is just declare your game will be a success and then it will be, that's how it works, lol. Such an Amazon thing to say.
Correct. But at the same time, he has to believe in it, it's his job. That's how business works. You don't doubt yourself, you go forward until you really hit a brick wall. Then you admit your defeat, learn what went wrong, and start anew. At the same time, they are doing iterative analysis/development, and using POCs and MVPs to check what works and what doesn't. Build-measure-learn feedback loop!

Amazon will end up buying millions of copy of their own game to make it a success on paper. They've got money to burn, devious snakes.
Definitely looking forward to launch on Tuesday, loved the closed beta as a pvper this game is right up my alley.
I don't think this game will be good for pve players and raiders....
Much to much PVP focus for my taste. Beta was good but not for me. i prefer a cooperative PvE focus.
Lol, at least he’s optimistic about what Amazon games can do, but it’ll be gamers that judge the final product.
Well, I have my copy pre-ordered so we'll see. I have high hopes, I've championing for a while, if anyone can get a fresh multiplayer experience right it's turtle rock as they've done it twice.
I love the whole concept of this game. Please let there be a roar button!
