Turtle Rock Studios revealed their new sci-fi co-op multiplayer first-person shooter, Evolve for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
According to Gameinformer, “Evolve is being developed by Turtle Rock, the team behind Valve’s hit zombie title Left 4 Dead and Counter-Strike Source.
The game is a sci-fi multiplayer-focused shooter pits a four-player crew of alien hunters against a separate player-controlled monster that grows larger and more powerful over the course of matches.
Each hunter features its own unique items and abilities, and while the monster may be outnumbered, its size and an assortment of devastating attacks make it a more than formidable foe.
The game is being built with variety and replayabilty in mind; the result is a novel mix of cooperative and competitive multiplayer elements that’s unlike anything we’ve played before.”
Evolve IP was sold to Take Two following the demise of THQ last year for $10.8 million. Check out the main details below:
- Turtle Rock has been working on Evolve for three years.
- There will be a solo ‘experience’ in Evolve, though Turtle Rock is not yet willing to talk about it.
- A studio spokesperson says Evolve will feature “very lush and large outdoor environments” with “a lot of AI wildlife”
- The monster player will leave tracks for hunters to follow as well as other “visual and aural clues”.
- The monster player will be able to feed on wildlife in order to grow larger and more fearsome
- The game is designed for 1-vs-5 multiplayer, though fewer than that can participate in a session, with AI filling out the team. Players can switch between AI characters.
- The story of Evolve involves the settlement of humanity on distant planets. The biggest frontier planet is called Shear. Hunters are tasked with making these dangerous, alien-infested planets hospitable to colonists, though aliens of Shear have evolved rapidly during the course of humanity’s presence.
- While Hunt mode pits four human players against a human controlled monster until the death, the monster player can complete objectives in order to win.
- Weapons have unlimited ammunition.
- Hunters can only die and be revived three times before they’re officially ousted from the game.
- Classes include Assault, Medics, Support and Trappers. Assault focuses on aggression, Medics can provide health boosts to the team, Support can apply various power ups and shields to the team, while Trappers can contain the monsters.
- Evolve will also bost a progression system for both characters and items.
- In addition to Hunt mode, more modes will feature.
- Evolve will be supported by post-launch content, but Turtle Rock stopped short of confirming DLC.
Evolve is expected to be released during Autumn 2014 for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
