The multiplayer co-op shooter Evolve has the potential to be a key franchise for publisher Take Two, but a concept for single-player is desired.
At Take Two, the publisher of Evolve, they are satisfied with the success of the co-op shooter. 2.5 million units have been sold: that’s not 10 million, but still quite impressive. Therefore, they see the potential to expand Evolve into a “franchise”.
Such franchises have previously included Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, Bioshock, Civilization, and Borderlands. And building such brands in the long term and supplying them with new games is the explicit goal of Take Two. Because just like Walter White in the “Empire” business, they are in the “franchise” business at Take Two.
However, there is a criticism: a single-player mode is reportedly lacking. They learned this from the release. They knew this, of course, before it started, but still. If there’s a place to start, it’s with an “experience for single players.”
