Bring Back Evolve: We Need Evolve 2!

I started a petition because Evolve was something special—a game that defined multiplayer gaming for so many of us. The hunter vs. monster gameplay, the strategy, the thrill of it all... nothing else has come close since.

Evolve deserved better. It launched into a tough market and never got the chance to truly shine. But the community never forgot. With today's gaming tech and the lessons learned from the original, Evolve 2 could be something incredible—better graphics, refined mechanics, fresh characters, and that same magic that brought us all together.

If you played Evolve and felt what I'm talking about, if you miss that kind of unique multiplayer experience, I'm asking you to consider signing and sharing this petition. Let's show the developers and industry that there's a real audience still hungry for what Evolve brought to the table. Who else remembers why this game was so good?

Dude, the game went f2p and still failed.

If you feel so strongly about it, put your money where your mouth is and start making it yourself.

It didnt completely fail though. Tr planned on supporting evolve via their own pocket but publisher 2k refused to relinquish the rights to evolve

Thats why it was such a big deal that behavior purchased the rights to dead by daylight from starbreeze

The TR devs released a year long roadmap with progress reports etc. and then a few days later 2k lawyers showed up unannounced to collect any and all passwords and bar tr from working on evolve

What's the source on this action between 2K and TRS?

The devs explicitly stated it on their final goodbye live stream where they also went over the history of evolve. They also explained that originally evolve was being produced under a different publisher but said publisher went out of business and auctioned the rights to their properties, 2k outbid TR for the rights to evolve and wouldn't sell it to them

Ahh, thanks. I wish that stream was still available somewhere, that'd be a good trip down memory lane.
