Looks like yet another game is getting delayed out of the hellish month of October. Publisher 2K Games are pushing Evolve into February of next year.
February 10, 2015 to be exact. In a financial statement, the parent company revealed that the Turtle Rock game will need some more time to be polished before release. Here’s what Turtle Rock had to say in a press statement:
Hey all. As you know, the release date got pushed back and people are understandably feeling a little deflated and hoping for answers. We understand. Here’s how it went down. As we got closer to the October date, we were able to look at where the game was going to be, and compare that to where we all dreamed it would be. In a meeting with the top brass I described it as “painfully close.”
Fortunately 2K feels the same way and is willing to put extra time into the game so that we can make our dream a reality. That’s huge for us, and for the future of Evolve. We want to be proud of every aspect of the game on release day.
Hang in there. There’s a lot to look forward to between now and February.And thanks again to everyone who helped us with the Alpha test. It was a huge success! We learned so much!
Of course, Evolve isn’t the only game that has been delayed as of late. Battlefield: Hardline, Batman Arkham Knight and The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt will all be out next year as well. A little bit of extra polish never hurts a game however, and now that October is starting to look far more manageable, various reviewers should be able to breathe a sigh of relief and not have to resort to Plan Brooks Was Here.

Pieter Kruger
August 6, 2014 at 09:59
It IS multiplat (good PS4 exclusives are non existent as we all know)!
Project Spark
Forza Horizon 2
Fantasia Music Evolved
Sunset Overdrive
HALO: Master Chief Edition
Castle Storm: Definitive Edition
Ori and the blind forest
Here’s hoping all those Chinese exclusives also make their way westward! Sure I might have missed a couple. MS promised Games and Exclusives and they’re delivering. Indiestation promised cheap……and they’re also delivering! ????
iAmWeasel
August 6, 2014 at 10:13
Majority of your list ZOMG amazing exclusives is indies, remakes, or just plain nonsense that no one cares about. Ok so Sunset Overdrive and Forza.. thats 2 meaningful games that we know about which are coming out in how long?? In the same time frame PS4 is getting Driveclub, Bloodborne, and The Order.
Pieter Kruger
August 6, 2014 at 10:27
Since your talking timeframe and I used 2014 (you get Driveflop 30fps in 2014, THAT’S IT!) I can just as well add D4, Halo 5, Fable Legends, Quantum Break etc. Keep trying! ????????????

Jonah Cash
August 6, 2014 at 12:00
What will be the visual difference between all the multi platform games?
And how many of these games you have on this list will you actually buy? I am only interested in Sunset Overdrive that is it!! That is not enough for me to buy a Xbox One.
Granted MS is really upping their game, and have some great ideas of how to get the One back on even par with the PS4, but they aren’t there yet….
Let me know when you get Sunset Overdrive how it plays, I am really intrigued by the game. Looks like something from the old days, just pure fun!! (Oh and if you can give me details as a normal guy not a One fan I would appreciate it)
Pieter Kruger
August 6, 2014 at 14:44
The visual difference between multiplats will be very little if anything! More and more multiplats coming out on 1080p on the X1. Not that it matters to be honest, just go back and read the article about Ryse. I’ll definitely be getting:
Project Spark
Forza Horizon 2
Sunset Overdrive
HALO: Master Chief Edition
Ori and the blind forest

It’s sad that Microsoft built a shitty DRM console and now had to backtrack on everything. I was a big Xbox and Xbox 360 fan until Microsoft went all Xbox Live and Kinect. But the people are supporting PS4 now. So it’s not all about Halo, Gears of War, Forza. For some people like you those games are important to you but for a lot of people it’s not. I for one would like to see some new IP’s. Last gen Sony gave us some new IP’s that was good and I’m hoping that Sony will give some more new IP’s for the PS4.
Pieter Kruger
August 6, 2014 at 15:38
Sony just teased a bloody snowflake rendered trailer to get you all hyped for GamesCom, go check it out quick, might actually be a worthwhile exclusive this time round! In other news, GamesCom award nominations have been revealed, how sad that none of the Best Game on PS4 nominees are actually PS4 exclusives?!
