Turtle Rock Studios, the developers behind the acclaimed Left 4 Dead franchise is back with a new IP and looking to prove that it is still on top of its game and ready to revolutionize multiplayer yet again.
In an exclusive interview with Examiner we asked Executive Producer Denby Grace exactly how many monsters, hunters, and levels we could expect to in Evolve and how huge the variety between play styles would be. In short, he tells us to wait until E3, and suspects we'll be thoroughly impressed with what we see.
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."
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.
Awesome can't wait. I'm planing on getting this so far can't wait to see what they got.
I hope this content that they speak of isn't of the downloadable variety and is going to be part of the full retail release.
This game looks really fun. I just hope there's a decent variety of monster types.
Balancing is going to be the key for me and this games success IMO.
The monster vs the hunters has to be very close to even, or the game will be wrecked.
That being said this game has so much potential, I think it can be special.
This game will be awesome!
