Humans arrived at Shear, a distant planet located in the "Far Arm" of space, and began creating colonies and industrial factories.Īs the colonisation progressed, humans began to meet resistance from alien life-forms, known as Monsters, that had the ability to evolve by consuming local wildlife.
The game is set in a fictional future where humans have successfully discovered ways to survive outside Earth and have begun colonizing other planets. The game had briefly transitioned to become a free-to-play title known as Evolve Stage 2 before 2K Games shut down the game's dedicated servers in September 2018. Evolve was a commercial success, although the player base significantly dwindled shortly after release. However, it received criticism for its progression system and light narrative, gameplay, as well as a large amount of downloadable content prepared. Upon release, the game received positive reviews from critics, with praise mostly directed to the game's asymmetrical structure, controls, and designs. Prior to release, Evolve received a largely positive reception and won the Best of Show Awards at Electronic Entertainment Expo 2014 and Gamescom 2014. THQ was originally set to serve as the game's publisher, but the rights to the franchise and publishing duties were transferred to Take-Two Interactive after THQ filed for bankruptcy in late 2012. Turtle Rock found difficulty when seeking publishers that could provide funding and marketing for the game. The monster design was originally intended to be esoteric but was later toned down. Inspired by hunting games such as Cabela's Big Game Hunter and Deer Hunter, the idea is to have prey that can strike back at the hunters. The concept for Evolve existed prior to the development of their previous game, Left 4 Dead. The hunters' goal is to eliminate the monster, while the monster's goal is to consume wildlife and evolve to make themselves stronger before either eliminating the hunters, or successfully destroying the objective.Įvolve was Turtle Rock Studios' first major project after the company split from Valve in 2010.
The hunters' gameplay is based on the first-person shooter design, while the monsters are controlled from a third-person perspective. Evolve uses an asymmetrical multiplayer structure, where five players-four playing as hunters and one as the monster-battle against each other on an industrialized alien planet called Shear. Announced in January 2014, the game was released worldwide for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One in February 2015.
Evolve is a first-person shooter video game developed by Turtle Rock Studios and published by 2K.
