Turtle Rock Studio’s upcoming multiplayer shooter now has an official release date. The game will release on October 21st for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

If you pre-order the game at participating retailers you will receive the Monster Expansion Pack, which is an additional skin that will unlock as soon as the game is released. You also get an additional monster character that will be released after the game launches.

My Judgment:

Evolve is definitely one of the most promising new IPs to be coming out this year, and all of the gameplay videos that I have seen look fantastic. Left 4 Dead was an absolute blast, but what Turtle Rock Studios is tackling here seems so much more original and intriguing, in my opinion. It’s October release date is just about perfect, by the way. I’m loving that we’ll be getting both Alien: Isolation *and* Evolve in the same month. It’s like the horror gods are all descending in the same month… and I like that.
