There are a lot of reasons why we are starting this Evolve Stage 2 Beta on PC. One of the main reasons is that, with the way updates work through Steam, we can iterate quickly without going through a submissions process," Yanez explains. "This means that we can more quickly identify and resolve problems and get Stage 2 to a place where we feel it is really solid and an excellent player experience. After implementing and testing these new changes on PC, if we find that players respond well to the changes, we would want to bring Stage 2 changes to consoles in the future. But for now PC is our exclusive beta platform."
Turtle Rock is giving Evolve another chance, which few could have predicted. We’ll see if the free-to-play gambit pays off and players who clamored for that model from the start give the game another shot.
Check back on July 7 to get your first look at the first gameplay trailer for Evolve Stage 2.
Note: We've updated a key point. Silver keys can only be earned. There is currently no monetization involved in the game. Everything is unlocked via playing.
