NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 14, 2014-- 2K and Turtle Rock Studios, creators of the cooperative shooter classic Left 4 Dead, today officially announced EvolveTM, an all-new multiplayer shooter experience. First revealed exclusively on the cover of Game Informer magazine's current February issue, Evolve will be available this fall for Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, and Windows PC.
Evolve expertly blends cooperative and competitive multiplayer experiences as a team of four hunters face off against a single, player-controlled monster. Set on an alien planet in the distant future, gamers hunt their prey in adrenaline-pumping 4V1 matches. Players experience Evolve as a first-person shooter when playing cooperatively as the four hunters, while they control the monster in the third-person perspective, providing a gameplay experience unique to Evolve. In addition to revealing Evolve, Game Informer details Goliath, the first monster included in the game, and the first squad of four hunters, each with their own unique classes and abilities.
"Our philosophy is to build incredibly fun game experiences that we can't find anywhere else," said Chris Ashton, co-founder and design director at Turtle Rock Studios. "Evolve's co-op vs. lone wolf formula has created some of the most intense multiplayer matches we've ever experienced."
"Evolve will be a generation-defining multiplayer experience," said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. "As our first new IP for next-gen systems, 2K is working with Turtle Rock Studios to deliver a game that's instantly entertaining and impossible to put down."
