IT’S FOUR HUNTERS VERSUS GIANT MONSTERS IN THE LATEST GAME FROM THE CREATORS OF LEFT 4 DEAD.
Turtle Rock Studios know a thing or two about co-op games – you might know a little but about Left 4 Dead, perhaps? Well, the team’s not resting on its laurels, and is hoping to push the co-op envelope even further with Evolve, a 2K published shooter action game with an intriguing asymmetrical take on the genre.
Evolve is set in the far future, on a different world, and rather than working on 4v4 co-op, the game pits four human players against a single monster. The humans play in traditional first person shooter mode, while the monster enjoys a third person view – each having different combat mechanics. The game will be class- & level-based, with a variety of monsters to choose from.
“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, in today’s announcement. “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.”
