'Left 4 Dead' creator announces 'Evolve" releases on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC

Evolve, from the creators of Left 4 Dead, had pre-order bonuses announced for those that are planning to pick up the game this fall.


From GameSpot:

Anyone who preorders the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC shooter will receive the Monster Expansion Pack, which comes with a Savage Goliath skin and a new monster character that will be released after launch.

The next team-based shooter will use Crytek's CryEngine, pitting four players against a monster that's played by a fifth person. The catch is while the team of shooters will be focused in a first-person view, the person that plays as the monster will be seeing things from the third-person view.

To change things up, monsters will feature an array of attacks and there will be a variety of monsters that will be unique.

Evolve is being developed by Turtle Rock Studios (known for their L4D fame) and will be published by 2K Sports. Orignially, the game was going to be released under THQ before they went bankrupt. Its release was discovered in the February 2014 edition of Game Informer.

The multiplayer shooter/action game will also see a PC and Xbox One release alongside the PS4. Pre-orders have started as of yesterday.
