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.

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 Hunter and Monster alike. Evolve includes three Monsters, 12 Hunters, 16 maps, and four game modes: Hunt, Nest, Rescue, and Defend.

The Evolve Hunting Season Pass includes four new playable Hunter characters available this spring, and three exclusive Monster skins available at launch on February 10, 2015.

Behemoth is a tank of a Monster that becomes a giant, destructive boulder and rolls through the environment for quick traversal. Behemoth will be available for purchase this spring for $14.99, or as part of the Monster Expansion Pack, which is free* for those who pre-order and pre-purchase Evolve, and also includes the Savage Goliath Skin at launch.

It is the largest monster in Evolve. It is the largest monster there will ever be in Evolve. He was literally made as large as we could make him. Everything the hunters have learned, how to deal with Goliath’s epic Leap Strike and Flame Breath, how to jetpack dodge Kraken’s Lightning Strike, how to recognize Wraith’s Decoy, all that is useless.

Against Behemoth, it’s a new game.

Hunters must now deal with a rolling juggernaut. A creature so powerful it summons massive walls of rock to block off the terrain, isolate and destroy individual hunters, or shield itself from their weapons. It hurls exploding blasts of magma at anyone foolish enough to fight it.

Behemoth is so large, he cannot leap or jump. He moves by rolling across the landscape like a juggernaut. He can climb, but just as the hunters must develop new strategies, so must Behemoth players. Climbing is slow, and when you are slow, you are an easy target. It’s almost always better to roll away. He has the most armor, the most health and you do NOT want to be on the receiving end of a punch. He’ll need it. Because he’s so big, he’s slower and presents a much larger target.

• Lava Bombs: Effective at short and long range, these mortar bombs shatter into fragments and continue to burn the area around them, including any Hunters who find themselves in the damage radius.
• Rock Wall: Creates a large, semi-circular rock structure that either traps victims inside with Behemoth, or locks him away from attackers.
• Tongue Grab: Behemoth uses his harpoon-like tongue to snatch a distant target and pull it into melee.
• Fissure: A wave of destruction blasts out of Behemoth, fracturing the terrain and scalding and stunning everything in its path.
