To nye kart, ett nytt monster og fire nye jegere til Evolve
Hvis du begynner å bli lei av kartene og jegerne som har vært med fra begynnelsen av i det kritikerroste actionspillet Evolve, har vi en gladnyhet til deg. Utvikler Turtle Rock Studios har nemlig annonsert at vi får påfyll i slutten av måneden. Nærmere bestemt kommer to nye kart, ett nytt monster og fire nye jegere til Xbox One-versjonen den 31. mars. Deretter kommer det samme til PC- og PS4-versjonen en måned senere, altså 31. april.
Kartene bærer navnene The Broken Hill Mine og The Broken Hill Foundry, og disse blir gratis å laste ned. Monsteret er det mye omtalte fjerde monsteret kalt Behemoth, mens de nye jegerne heter Torvald, Crow, Slim og Sunny. Monsteret vil koste 15 dollar (ca. 120 kroner) å skaffe seg, mens hver av får en prislapp på 7,5 dollar (ca. 60 kroner).
Selv beskriver Turtle Rock Studios de nye jegerne på følgende vis:
Torvald (Assault) - Torvald has a Goliath-sized beef with Monsters. Survivor of a Monster attack, Torvald was nearly torn to pieces. Rebuilt into a half-human walking tank, Torvald is heading to Shear with a head full of revenge. Besides cybernetic implants, he's sporting back-mounted Mortar Cannons. As deadly as those mortar rounds are at a distance, Torvald is straight-up vicious, up close. Toss a Shrapnel Grenade and he peppers a target with weak spots. That's when you unload rounds from his Autofire Shotgun and rack up some serious bonus damage.
Crow (Trapper) - Crow is a bit of a recluse. He actually retired to the unsettled parts of Shear to be left alone - until the Monsters came and screwed everything up. He understands the planet better than most, which makes him perfectly suited as a Trapper. Now, Crow and his trained pet Batray, Gobi, are going to get rid of the Monsters one dome at a time. On command, Gobi flies ahead to scout an area and lets Crow "see" nearby creatures. Gobi flies out a couple hundred meters at most in line-of-sight, eventually finding its way back to its master. Crow's Stasis Gun has two firing modes: A rapid-fire mode briefly slows down the Monster, but a charged shot will drop a Monster to a crawl for a longer period of time. Then there is his Kinetic Long Rifle. The rapid-fire mode deals lots of damage-per-second, but charge the shot and he is able to punch straight through a Monster's armor and damage its health. It's sneaky and vicious. Just like Crow.
Slim (Medic) - A forgotten solider from a forgotten war, Slim is not human - not anymore. His DNA was genetically modified so much that this combat medic resembles some insectoid hybrid. All of Slim's abilities not only mess with the Monster, he has some unique ways to keep his fellow Hunters in the fight. His primary weapon, the Leech Gun, saps strength from the Monster and that fuels how quickly his Healing Burst reloads. His Healing Burst also happens to have the largest radius compared to all the other Medics. Slim's Healing drone buzzes around the battlefield, targeting teammates and helping them regenerate health over time. As soon as the Hunter getting healed is attacked, the drone returns to Slim. Of course, the Monster can't hurt what it can't find and Slim's Spore Cloud Launcher masks the scent of the Hunters, giving you the perfect opportunity to get in close.

Sunny (Support) - Sunny goes a long ways back with Abe and Parnell before coming to Shear. (In fact, Sunny was one of the original four Hunters, back when Evolve was first created.) Now the ace pilot, engineer and eternal optimist is coming to help her old squadmates. As support, she's protecting the team with Shield Drones that will cover nearby teammates and take the hits for the Hunters. In order to help them with a quick escape, Sunny's Jetpack Booster lets teammates fly further, faster and not run out of juice while in range. All that said, Sunny is perfectly capable of dishing it out. Her Mininuke Grenade Launcher packs more punch in a single projectile than any other hand-wielded weapon in the game.
