From the moment the exclusive Xbox One Open Beta begins at
2K and Turtle Rock Studios also announced the third playable Monster character today, as well as an all-new way to experience Evolve offline.
- Wraith – The third playable Monster character is a small, terrifying, stealthy assassin that is quick in her movements and has two exceptionally long blades to deal damage up close. Despite having the least amount of health and armor among Evolve’s Monsters, Wraith’s quick, warping movements allow her to dart around during battle to avoid taking damage. Full details about Wraith’s four abilities – warp blast, decoy, abduct, and supernova – including videos of Wraith in action can be found on the official Evolve blog here: http://evolvegame.com/news/wraith-the-third-evolve-monster-revealed.
- Offline Solo Experience – Every character, every map, and every mode in Evolve can be experienced entirely offline as a solo player competing against computer-controlled opponents. Whether playing as the Monster, or hot-swapping between an entire team of four Hunters, Evolve’s unique blend of 4v1 gameplay is particularly enjoyable alone when playing the dynamic campaign, Evacuation, which combines the full array of maps and modes into a highly replayable experience. Full details about Evolve’s Offline Solo Experience, including gameplay video, can be found on the official Evolve blog here: http://evolvegame.com/news/yes-there-is-an-offline-mode-for-evolve.
“2K and Turtle Rock Studios are creating much more than just a
competitive multiplayer experience,” said
Evolve will be available
About Evolve
From Turtle Rock Studios, creators of Left 4 Dead, comes Evolve, the highly anticipated shooter where four hunters face off against a single, player-controlled monster in adrenaline-pumping 4v1 matches. Play as the monster to use savage abilities and an animalistic sense to kill your human enemies, or choose one of four hunter classes (Trapper, Support, Assault and Medic) and team up to take down the beast on the planet Shear, where flora and fauna act as an adversary to man and monster alike. Level up to unlock new hunter or monster characters as well as upgrades, skins and perks. Earn your infamy on the leaderboards and become the apex predator.
Those who pre-order the award-winning Evolve from participating retailers will receive the Monster Expansion Pack, which includes the fourth playable Monster character after Evolve is released, and the Savage Goliath skin at launch. To pre-order now, visit http://Evolvegame.com/preorder.
