Monster of the week
Evolve's 4v1 battles pit a team of Hunters against a lone Monster in dangerous maps filled with tons of potential ambush points (and delectable beasts for the monster to chew on). When you add match combinations consisting of the base game's 12 hunters and three monsters on top of that, it's an awful lot to wrap your head around. But why stop there? How about at least two more monsters and six new hunters scattered across pre-order bonuses and DLC packs for good measure?
Behemoth is a deadly, lava-chucking armadillo
Evolve's fourth monster is a craggy beast that takes a page from a different sort of Hunter's playbook. Kinda like Samus, the Behemoth can curl up into a ball to roll around the environment at high-speed. He can't drop his signature Lava Bombs from boulder form (guess that would've been too obvious), but he can just roll over fools at high speed and crush the life out of 'em. That's Behemoth's favored method of transport, seeing as he's too huge to jump and is a slow climber. Check him out in the trailer below.
New hunters track deadlier game
The Evolve Hunting Season Pass will add four more hunters to the selection, bringing the total up 16, all for $24.99. The quartet will once again include a representative from each class - Assault, Trapper, Medic, and Support - using their own unique weapons and gadgets to fulfill the same basic role within the hunting party. What exactly those weapons and abilities will be is still up in the air, since developer Turtle Rock hasn't revealed any specifics yet. The characters will also be available for individual purchase for $7.49, in case you only fancy a certain role or two.
Monster Race edition is future-proof for PC diehards
Turtle Rock is also offering a deal for PC gamers who want to make sure they get everything Evolve with the $99.99 PC Monster Race Edition. It includes the Monster Expansion Pack and Evolve Hunting Season Pass content, as well as two additional playable hunters and a mysterious fifth monster.
