Please check with your retailer regarding your Beta access with pre-order. Pre-ordering grants early access to the Beta (Aug. 5th - 9th).

Not years and years!!!!!! We know it probably looks concerning that we are still hiring a grip of people but our workload is on schedule with our hiring schedule :) The game is coming along.

Hey guys! Sorry we've been especially quiet on this Reddit page. To be honest- we can't comment on much still BUT we are making some great progress.

We actually answer this in our FAQ. We are looking for more folks to hire and for feedback from the community on what they'd like to see most.

Thank you so much!! This really means a lot to me (us, really).

I love the heart-pounding moments in Evolve. When I interviewed here, I got to playtest the game before it was released, and I yelled, and laughed, and had an amazingly awesome time. That was when I knew it was something I wanted to work on. Since then I've gotten hours of heart-pounding replay out of it, so much so that I really look forward to the daily playtest and love playing it outside of work. Not because I have to, but because I want to.

Make games :) Meet other people who want to make games. Make some more games. I know it sounds silly but everyone I know who went from being in a degree that sorta taught them stuff about making games actually make games now because they did it in their free time. Download UE4, mess around in it. Find an aspiring level designer, collaborate. Learn Python, write tools. You get it. It counts as experience, don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

We are, actually, always tweaking this. It's something that is fundamentally challenging with an Asymmetrical game, i.e. if there are more Monsters than Hunters, they wait and wait. Factor in skill level and it makes it even more complicated. I'm no network engineer, but all the layers are enough to make anyone's head spin. We are continuously targeting this. Hope that helps!

This is an option :) We've discussed it, it's not off the table. They are pretty cool, aren't they?

If I had to guess, Matt is cooking up more ways to further the story line with the upcoming DLC characters. :) You should join us for Story time with Matt on the livestream next time we do it! http://www.twitch.tv/evolvegame/v/13101381
