GES Writes: "In a savage world of man vs nature, will you be the hunter or the hunted? From the creators that brought all of us Left 4 Dead, Turtle Rock Studio brings you Evolve. In the distant future, humanity has travelled to the void of space, exploring distant far off planets, colonized and terraforming them, fought in many wars and discovering new sources of energy, Humans have expanded across the galaxy in the Far Arm. Until a growth of interest fell upon Shear, an uninhabited planet filled with new wildlife and resources. While colonizing the planet’s surface, mankind has come under attack from a monstrous alien species that is rapidly consuming every living thing on Shear. After being brought out of retirement, the Planet Tamer, William Cabot gathered an Elite group of War Veterans, Psychopaths, Hunters and Scientists to help rescue as many colonists as they can, before the planet is consumed by the greatest threat to all life as we know it."
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.
Evolve is an asymmetrical multiplayer experience born at the tail-end of the wrong era, in the multiplayer world.
Great idea but poorly executed and destined to fail from the begging. Only thing I’m grateful towards this game is that it’s the one that convinced me to never buy a game blind again.
Shadowrun for the Xbox 360/PC would of been a better example of a great online game that launched At the wrong time.
