2K/Turtle Rock's Evolve is going through a massive overhaul in attempts to revitalize it, as the game has now become free-to-play on Steam under the title Evolve: Stage 2. The developers are planning on changing not only the price of the game, but also major gameplay mechanics.

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.

If you previously owned the game or bought the DLC packs, those will carry on into the new version, and you will be given a "FOUNDER STATUS".

Lastly, it was paramount to us with Evolve Stage 2 that if you own or buy a copy of original Evolve on PC, your game will automatically upgrade toEvolve Stage 2 and you will receive “FOUNDER STATUS” in-game. Full details on what Founder Status means can be found HERE

And it's still not worth my time

My computer couldn't run this even if I wanted to play this :/

So who else is shocked this online-only playerbase dependent game didn't succeed because of greedy developers/publishers trying to choke every dollar they could out of customers?

...no one?

yeah me either. I knew it'd go F2P. It's a fun game but they fucked it. I'd be surprised if this'll bring it back from the dead. The players right now are huge, so if you wanna get into Evolve...nows your chance. I can't see it lasting though.
