The 4vs1 survival game Evolve is coming to an end. The servers will shut down in a few months.
The remaining player base had feared this for a long time, and now the step has been announced: Evolve will close its dedicated servers and the 4vs1 monster game will officially be buried.
When are the lights going out for Evolve? On September 3, 2018, the servers for Evolve will be officially shut down. This means that some game modes and features will no longer be available from then on. Already a few months earlier, starting July 2, 2018, it will no longer be possible to purchase the game’s virtual currency with real money. However, the shop to spend the currency will remain until the server closures.
Which modes are affected? With the server closures, the ranked Hunt mode will no longer be available. The leaderboards, the player profile data, the newsfeed, and player badges will disappear along with the in-game store.
Which modes are still functional? Even after the servers are turned off, players can still play with each other via peer-to-peer connection. Quick Play, Evacuation, and Custom Games will still be accessible. The single-player modes will also remain available.
Development hasn’t continued for a long time. The news of Evolve’s end is not particularly surprising, as the game’s development was already halted a long time ago, on October 26, 2016. Since then, only the most necessary functions, such as the game servers, have been kept alive.
Cortyn says: Writing this news makes me incredibly sad, as Evolve was one of my favorite games. Few other games captivated me as intensely, and I never felt more like a “monster” than in this game.
But to be honest, Evolve has only led a shadowy existence in recent years. Perhaps it’s better to let a beloved game die, hoping that Turtle Rock will do better next time.
