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.

Evolve as you know it has been completely overhauled and is being re-launched on PC today as Evolve Stage 2, with new game design, gameplay mechanics, and improved gameplay balance and system performance. Not only that, but starting today you can play Evolve Stage 2 completely FREE on PC via Steam.

Electro Griffin, an exciting new variation on the original sound-spike wielding, monster-harpooning Hunter, is now available for Evolve.

In the year 2358, the most dangerous Hunter in the galaxy is the target of Neo-Tokyo's most notorious crime syndicate. Watch Roger Brown as Griffin Hallsey in "Electro Griffin and the Ninjas of Neo-Tokyo" -- our hero's most shocking role yet!

A Shocking Return

Coming straight out of the latest box office flop “Electro Griffin and the Ninjas of Neo-Tokyo”, Roger Brown has reprised his role as Electro Griffin to make an electrifying return to his pursuit of fame and fortune. However instead of hunting down Ninjas, Electro Griffin will be taking on his biggest challenge yet...Hunting the ravenous Monsters on the world of Shear.

Bringing out an electrifying new arsenal

Electro Griffin knows taking on Monsters will be no easy task, so bringing along the latest and greatest in Ninja fighting technology with The Laser Storm and The Final Lockdown...The Monsters of Shear are sure in for a Shock when Electro Griffin first lands into the Hunt.

Designed to take a new twist on Griffin Halsey's infamous Gauss SMG that was used to take down the Orion Tarrasaur. The Laser Storm is Electro Griffin’s primary weapon when it comes to taking on the dangers he’ll face on Planet Shear. Infused with electro neuron dampening plasma that will slow the movement of anything it touches, this is a great weapon dish out damage and keep the pressure on the Monsters. Utilizing the Electro Suit, the user will also be able to move at full speed while firing to help keep that hot plasma on any hostile target.

Bringing another twist on the original Griffin Halsey kit, the harpoon gun for Electro Griffin has had a shocking redesign to take on Ninjas and Monsters alike. Since Electro finds himself in many close calls, the repurposed harpoon gun dubbed “The Final Lockdown” is the right tool for the job. Infused with face melting, chord ripping, riff shredding sonic disrupter energy. The Final Lockdown when held on a target will damage and lockdown any movement the Monster had planned on making. Be on the lookout for the personally altered acoustics that Electro Griffin has requested were necessary to melt the faces of anyone who stood in his way.

Abilities

• The Laser Storm: Laser SMG that damages and applies a slow on impact.
• The Final Lockdown: A short range harpoon that deals damage over time while connected to the Monster.
• Sound Spikes: Short range tracking devices that will reveal any Monster within the radius.
• Planet Scanner: Upon activation points the whole team in the direction of the Monster and gives Electro a short boost of speed.
