Experience the next evolution of asymmetric combat in Evolve: Hunting Season 2. This expansion to the acclaimed action-shooter introduces fresh gameplay mechanics, brand-new characters, and expanded tactical depth to the intense struggle between hunters and monsters. Developed by Turtle Rock Studios—the creative minds behind the legendary Left 4 Dead—this update brings a significant shift to the established meta, ensuring that no two hunts are ever the same.

New Heroes and Expanded Combat Mechanics

The core of Evolve: Hunting Season 2 lies in its introduction of unique combat styles that challenge the traditional boundaries of the genre. As part of the Hunting Season 2 Pack, players can expect a suite of new characters designed to alter the battlefield dynamics.

Leading the charge is Lennox, an Assault-class Hunter who fundamentally changes how players approach close-quarters engagements. Unlike previous hunters, Lennox features a dedicated melee attack via her ‘Thunderchild’ mechanized suit. Equipped with a powerful Plasma Lance for devastating close combat, she also retains long-range capabilities through her Autocannon and the impactful Thunder Strike ability. This addition of melee combat introduces a new layer of risk and reward for those brave enough to close the gap with a massive predator.

The expansion promises a total of five new characters arriving by March 2016, each bringing specialized abilities that force players to rethink their coordination and strategy during a hunt.

Asymmetric Gameplay: The Ultimate Predator Hunt

At its heart, Evolve is an intense asymmetric experience where four players take on the role of Hunters, while one player controls a massive, evolving Monster. This "complex, competitive cooperation" requires much more than simple marksmanship; it demands high-level communication and strategic resource management.

  • Class-Based Roles: Players utilize specialized classes such as Assault, Support, Trapper, and Medic. Each character possesses three distinct abilities and a powerful class-wide ultimate to turn the tide of battle.
  • Strategic Arsenal: Hunters must manage an array of essential gear, ranging from med-guns for healing to tracking tools like radioactive dust or UAVs.
  • Evolutionary Stakes: The Monster player must hunt efficiently to grow in power, while the Hunters must work together to track, weaken, and ultimately slay the beast before they become the prey.

A New Era of Hunting

With the introduction of characters like Lennox, Evolve: Hunting Season 2 appeals to fans of tactical shooters, MOBAs, and asymmetric multiplayer who crave high-stakes, cooperative gameplay. Whether you are coordinating a pincer movement with an Autocannon or engaging in desperate melee combat, the new mechanics provide fresh opportunities for both triumph and catastrophe.

Evolve: Hunting Season 2 is available on PC, Xbox One, and PS4. Prepare your squad, check your gear, and get ready to face a new breed of danger.
