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.

In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day and all things green (like Evolve’s Trapper class), Turtle Rock Studios and 2K are challenging the Evolve community to complete the Evolve St. Patrick’s Trapper Challenge, taking place this weekend between Thursday, March 19th at 9:00 PM PT and Sunday, March 22nd at 9:00 PM PT. During that time, if the Evolve community wins a total of 35,000 games online while playing with Griffin the Trapper on their team, everyone who plays will be rewarded with the Trapper Predator Skins* for free – regardless of whether or not they were the one playing as Griffin.

The Trapper Predator Skins will be delivered to players by March 31st, 2015.

Evolve: Hunters Quest is a Match-3 puzzle combat game that takes players on more than 100 missions set in the Evolve universe. Players join a team of Hunters on the planet Shear in search of new and unique wildlife and Monsters. Throughout the missions, players must match three tokens of the same color to unleash devastating attacks on their enemies, fill up energy bars to activate Hunters’ special abilities, and earn Mastery Points to level up their characters.
 
For fans who purchase Evolve on PC or console, Evolve: Hunters Quest also links directly into the main game for an expanded experience that can be enjoyed on-the-go. Players can apply their Mastery Points earned in Evolve: Hunters Quest to characters in the Evolve game on any platform. Players can also discover and unlock unique game art, and enhance their console skills by watching replays of their online multiplayer matches from a strategic top-down view.
