October 27, Turtle Rock will hold a final Twitch stream dedicated to Evolve.
Apparently, the poor thing Evolve redeemed. Bright multiplayer shooter, it’s amazing how quickly lose users a few months ago tried to reboot by turning it on the model free-to-play. But it did not help.
Publisher 2K Games and Studio Turtle Rock has announced that Evolve, the development of Stage 2 (the so-called shareware reboot) “completed”. This means that developers will no longer release any updates, and support was switched to passive mode. Servers will work in the foreseeable future, but for now they meets 2K, not Turtle Rock. Changes in the economy of the game is not planned: silver and gold keys will continue to function as usual.
The question remains: what about the console? Initially, the authors were going to restart Evolve on the PlayStation 4 with the Xbox One. Apparently, to them, the restart won’t get it at all. The official statement says that 2K can still move the “Second stage” in the console, but the priority publishing user base of the PC-version. While console servers are “vanilla” Evolve will remain in service.
It is hard to believe that 2K will really bother and Evolve Stage 2 porting on the console. Since Turtle Rock washes his hands, the restart was unsuccessful. This is indirectly confirmed by statistics in the Steam: the peak in the last 24 hours is just 1 689 people. And at the time of writing the news in a shooter and is only 729 players. While start-up rates exceed 50 000!
Turtle Rock in a farewell letter to the community Evolve thanks THQ and 2K Games. First for believing in the project in the initial stages of development, and the chance to continue creating games after the bankruptcy of THQ and risky experiment with the transition to fritupley. Thursday, 27 October at 22:00 Turtle Rock will hold a final Twitch stream dedicated to Evolve.
