James of Twinfinite writes "The name Kraken has long stood in our mythology as a great beast. A creature which hides beneath the sea and tears apart boats with massive tentacles, the fear of such an animal has quickened the heartbeat of many a sailor since time immemorial. In Evolve, the Kraken is not some creature that hides beneath the shimmering skin of the water. Instead, it is a hovering beast capable of controlling the element of lightning to bring electrocuting death to anyone who would dare stand before it.
It’s still got tentacles though, loads of them."
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.
Should be added that, out of the three, the Kraken is probably the most fun to play.
Really cuz it's fun and,turtle rock has,said more dlc will weigh on demand of gamers..
