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.

As a show of appreciation to Evolve fans, Turtle Rock Studios and 2K will reward those who play Evolve online between 9:00 PM PT on Thursday, March 5th and 9:00 PM PT on Sunday, March 8th with the fabled Turtle Rock Gold Skin for Goliath, Kraken, and Wraith. These Monster skins have never been made available to anyone outside of the TRS development team until now! These skins will be delivered to players sometime after the weekend ends, but before Saturday, March 14th.

This beautiful molten-gold skin helps identify developers in-game and generally make us feel good about the time we put in to making Evolve. It’s bold. It’s distinct. It’s shiny.

The Evolve Hunt for Gold Weekend is the first in a series of upcoming online Evolve community challenges and events taking place over the coming months. Future challenges may require the Evolve community to collectively achieve specific in-game milestones for in-game rewards.

Next up: St. Patrick’s Day Trapper Challenge – more information on that is coming soon!

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.
