Turtle Rock has detailed the latest balancing patch coming to Evolve, which aims to target the game’s overpowered monsters.
Available on PC from today, the update is due to make its way onto console platforms — namely Xbox One and PlayStation 4 — at some point next week, likely in tandem with the upcoming Hunters and Monster batch of DLC on March 31. This add-on in particular is available as part of the game’s $24.99 season pass, and will usher in a selection of new playable hunters, along with the Behemoth.
For a full rundown of all of the incoming fixes and tweaks heading to Evolve next week, you can head over to Turtle Rock’s blog. In the meantime, we’ve cherry picked the fixes that apply to the game’s roaming monstrosities.
