On Steam, around a half a million people playing Dota 2, almost 200,000 people are playing Counter Strike: Global Offensive, 22,000 people are playing PAYDAY 2, and a whopping 2,000 people are playing Evolve."

It has been recently revealed by an artist that a sequel to the 2015 title Evolve was in the works. However, this project wouldn't last long.
Was this game ahead of its time? A few years later games like Dead By Daylight, Friday the 13th and other asymmetrical games exploded onto the scene.

Back in 2016, Turtle Rock announced that support for its 4v1 monster-hunting shooter Evolve would end but fans wouldn't let it die.

From NME: "Evolve: Stage 2 had its multiplayer servers shut down back in 2018, but today players are once again able to matchmake and join peer-to-peer multiplayer games.
Several months ago, peer-to-peer functionality was lost for Evolve Legacy, which was the only way fans of the series could play with friends. Upon a multitude of players reaching out to publisher 2K, the issue was eventually fixed earlier in July. It seems 2K have gone a step further now, and reinstated peer-to-peer and matchmaking functionality for Evolve: Stage 2 after four years."
I saw the writing on the wall with Devolve, a shame as I was really looking forward to it before they started announcing their DLC plans, I suspect a ton of folks did the same as I and just canceled their Pre-orders.
Didn't buy it.
After playing the beta, this was all too obvious.
Turtle Rock is so talented, but I hope they learn from this.
That's the fate of all Multiplayer-only games.
This game needs to go F2P.
