2K and Turtle Rock Studios announced that the Evolve™
experience is expanding today with the launch of a host of
downloadable content* including the fourth playable Monster,
Behemoth, four new playable Hunters, a free Observer
Mode, and more. Those who own Evolve but do not purchase
Behemoth or the four new Hunters can still play against or
alongside these new characters online and against them offline,
adding depth and replayability for the entire Evolve
community without dividing players based on what additional content
they own. Additionally, a free Observer Mode means more new
content for all Evolve players to enjoy.
Behemoth is a tank of a Monster that
becomes a giant, destructive boulder and rolls through the
environment for quick traversal. Behemoth is free for those who
pre-ordered Evolve from participating retailers as part of the
Monster Expansion Pack, and is available separately for $14.99.

Evolve is a shooter in which four Hunters face off against a
single, player-controlled Monster in adrenaline-pumping 4v1
matches. 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. Level up to unlock new
Hunter or Monster characters as well as upgrades, skins, and perks.
Earn your infamy on the leaderboards and become the apex
predator.
