It looks like there is more to Evolve than just running around killing "innocent" monsters and wildlife. I'm just as shocked as you as up until now the story has been pretty much just that. Now it looks like there is a new story or at least just a new mode for Evolve that details a bit more into why the 12 best hunters have been gathered to go after the massive monsters that seem to have shown up to destroy the planet. Well, at least make the planet a bit more inhabitable for them instead of the humans and robots that have dominated the land for gods know how long.
Like I said, this looks to be not just a story but a specific mode in Evolve. The speculation there is based on the fact that those who plan to play Evolve on the Xbox One will be seeing Evacuation from Evolve in January's Beta for the game. You know, the month before Evolve finally launches for the PS4, XB1, and PC. It's not like the Xbox players haven't had a leg up more with Evolve in that aspect to date right?
Evolve — Evacuation Story Trailer
If you are like me then you are still waiting to hear about the third monster for Evolve to be added into the mix of all the hunters but from the sounds of this trailer the hunters only know of the two. That can't be the case for launch can it? Hopefully that is just creative editing to make sure that the third monster announcement isn't spoiled for us all. Not like we are all waiting patiently for that anyways… Maybe it will be shown off at the PlayStation Experience this weekend and we can get even more hyped.
