Canceled Sequel to Evolve | Fans Miss the Fun of Being Monsters
A leaked concept art has revealed more about a canceled sequel to the multiplayer game Evolve. Turtle Rock Studios halted development after a few months, steering clear of the project, much to fans’ dismay.
Fans expressed their sorrow as new details surface about the evolved sequel that never made it to the gaming world. Sources confirm that development for this next installment kicked off shortly after the original game's launch but was abandoned in favor of other projects. The shift from Evolve has sparked frustration among players who believed the game had more potential.
Fans Reflect on Evolve’s Missed Opportunities
Many players fondly remember the thrill of being a monster like a giant squid. One gamer reminisced, "Being a big invisible squid monster was so fun." This nostalgia is mixed with irritation over the game's monetization efforts. Another noted, "Evolve's monetization system was some of the biggest BS I've ever seen." As some assert, the launch could have benefitted from a free-to-play model from the beginning—similar to what was eventually done with Evolve Stage 2.
Balancing Gameplay Concerns
The discourse around Evolve isn’t just about nostalgia; many critiques focus on gameplay. Commenters argue that balance issues were the nail in the coffin. A player explained that the gameplay flaws stemmed from the disparity in skill levels between monster and hunter roles, asserting, "One bad hunter on your team and it was pretty much GG." Despite the game's innovative angle, some felt that fundamental design shortcomings hindered its longevity.

Turtle Rock's reputation teeters as fans express mixed feelings about the studio's direction. Some still remain loyal, believing "Evolve was ahead of its time," while others are weary of past mismanagement.
