Set on an alien planet in the distant future, gamers hunt their prey in adrenaline-pumping 4V1 matches. Players experience Evolve as a first-person shooter when playing cooperatively as the four hunters, while they control the monster in the third-person perspective, providing a gameplay experience unique to Evolve. In addition to revealing Evolve, Game Informer details Goliath, the first monster included in the game, and the first squad of four hunters, each with their own unique classes and abilities.

If you haven’t been able to play Evolve yet (or want to play more), you might get the chance soon! While we don’t have many details to share quite yet, we are excited to announce that invitations to register for our upcoming Big Alpha will be handed out at our booth at PAX Prime. If you’ll be at the convention this weekend, here’s a little bit of extra motivation to stop by the 2K Booths (Level 4, booths 1414 and 814): Play a round of the game and you’ll receive an invitation to register for a chance to gain access to this closed alpha test.

What? You can’t make it to PAX Prime? Then you should follow us on Twitter at @EvolveGame, Facebook and the Turtle Rock forums for additional chances to register for Big Alpha. Keep checking back because we’ll have more details soon enough.

Evolve is available for pre-order at participating retailers. Those who pre-order the game from participating retailers will be rewarded with the Monster Expansion Pack, which includes the Savage Goliath skin at launch and a new monster character as soon as it becomes available after Evolve is released.
