NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 18, 2015-- 2K and Turtle Rock Studios announced today that one new Monster and four new Hunters are coming to Evolve™, the 4v1 shooter in which four Hunters cooperatively fight to take down a single-player controlled Monster. Offered individually, or as part of Hunting Season 2*, all five new characters will be made available prior to the end of Take-Two Interactive, Inc.’s fiscal year on March 31, 2016. The first new character, Lennox (Assault class), will be available on June 23, 2015.

Evolve Hunting Season 2 will be available for purchase on June 23, 2015 for Xbox One, PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, and Windows PC. Those who purchase the new Monster and Hunters as part of Hunting Season 2 will also receive an additional exclusive skin with the launch of each of the five new included playable characters.

Coming to Evolve later this month, Lennox (Assault class) is the first Hunter in Evolve to feature a melee attack. Her ‘Thunderchild’ mechanized suit is equipped with a Plasma Lance that deals massive amounts of damage in close combat, while her Autocannon and Thunder Strike attack allow Lennox to fight when outside of melee range.

“The new Monster and Hunters coming to Evolve in Hunting Season 2 are some of the most unique characters our team has created,” said Chris Ashton, co-founder and design director at Turtle Rock Studios. “Each of these characters introduces combat mechanics that are brand new to the Evolve gameplay experience.”

Level up to unlock new Hunter or Monster characters as well as upgrades, skins, and perks. Earn your infamy on the leaderboards and become the apex predator.

If someone is interested in playing Evolve (on PS4), he can join us. We need a 5th player for our team respectively to take part as "the monster" ;). Roles are not fixed and we don't bite (with the ecxeption of "the monster" :D). We play other games as well (for example: HellDivers, Rocket League, Hardware Rivals, Boming Busters (planed, up to 8 players!)). Sadly many games only support 4 players, but not everybody's online every time and not everybody own every game. Most regulary players are Cryorvus, ThorDonnergott79, Meister_Pelzig, cell_4000 & dj_tracy. Normally PSN Voice chat is startet by me and open, so just jump in and say hello o_O

I would be interested for Helldivers but actually :oops: first I must play and complete metal gear solid v because I really like it and even if I bought it on September, only now I find the time to play... and on April is coming Dark Souls 3 :eek:(my GOTY) so I have to hurry up. But if next month (march) wins Broforce:D as a game of the playstation plus, (by the way I recommend to vote;) this game when Sony will open the survey next week) I would very gladly a coop with Broforce; I'm dying to play as
