2K and Turtle Rock Studios (of Left 4 Dead fame) have announced the launch date for their 4 versus 1 co-op shooter Evolve. The game will be available globally on 21 October 2014 for Xbox Oen, PS4, and PC.
The pre-order incentive from participating retailers is the Monster Expansion Pack, which includes the Savage Goliath skin at launch, and a new monster character when it becomes available after Evolve is released.
Evolve is a sci-fi squad-based multiplayer shooter in which a team of four player-controlled alien hunters will go up against a single player-controlled monster that becomes more powerful as the battle goes on.
The alien hunters each have unique abilities and items, while the monster compensates for being outnumbered with an assortment of strong attacks and its overwhelming size.
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.
Turtle Rock Studios promises multiple monsters, hunters, game modes, and more than a dozen maps.
Evolve will be on show at E3 2014 (10-12 June), so we can expect plenty more info to surface then.
