Evolve is staging up on PC – literally – and today Turtle Rock Studios and 2K introduce Evolve Stage 2.
Evolve as you know it has been completely overhauled and is being re-launched on PC today as Evolve Stage 2, with new game design, gameplay mechanics, and improved gameplay balance and system performance. Not only that, but starting today you can play Evolve Stage 2 completely FREE on PC via Steam.
Why is Evolve changing and what does this mean for new and existing players? Well, the game was just about dead so it only made sense to try and save it as the money invested into it was insane. The people behind Evolve even pushed the game as a testbed for pushing DLC to the maximum. This choice not only killed the game, but I think hurt the industry as a whole. Hell, I remember news of the Evolve DLC and monster add-ons before the game was even officially announced.
Can this F2P change save a game that once held so much promise? It’ll for sure get a huge bump in players for the next few days, but we will have to see how many stick around and face down a microtransaction wasteland. At least if you own or buy a copy of original Evolve on PC (why?), your game will automatically upgrade to Evolve Stage 2 and you will receive “FOUNDER STATUS” in-game.
