The release date for Turtle Rock’s upcoming multiplayer co-op shooter, Evolve, may have been outed by two online retailers. UK supermarket ASDA has the game listed for a September 9th release while an Australian retailer has the game set for launch on September 5th. It’s worth noting that these dates fall on a Tuesday and Friday which is typically when new games are released.
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.
hopefully not....destiny releases on September 9th...and I don't think I will be able to play both of these games at once
Id pick Destiny over this if true
ill have to go with Evolve over Destiny. put so many hours into Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 that i couldn't see myself choosing any game this fall over Evolve.
Thats a shame as, as has already been said its around the same time as Destiny and I have a feeling Evolve might get lost in the hype surrounding Destiny.
Why is Destiny so hyped? Did I miss something? I'm pretty sure we know almost nothing about the game other than it's going to be an online FPS, and who it's going to be made by. Was there a showing of the completed game or something. All I've seen so far is that pre-Alpha build that showed, again, pretty much nothing. I want to be excited for it too, so can someone tell me what information people are getting excited about?
OT: Looking forward to Evolve, regardless of what games come out at the same time, I'll play it at some point. No one said that games must be bought on the release date or even the release month..
