Remember Evolve? It was that game by the ex-Left 4 Dead devs that won a slew of awards prior to release, and then was swiftly ignored by gamers and the media once it actually launched. Well, it looks like it's about to make a comeback – or at least try to, we suppose. Turtle Rock, the studio behind the shooter, has put a countdown on the title's website, which is ticking down to 09:00AM PT on 7th July. It's included the hashtag #StageUp just to make things that little bit more obnoxious.
Apparently, when it's over, it's going to host a livestream, which will presumably disappoint anyone who decides to tune in. Here's the interesting news, though: the game's currently been delisted from Steam, meaning that it can't be purchased. Speculation suggests that this is because the release will be adopting a free-to-play model from tomorrow onwards. It makes sense.
The title's currently still available to buy on the PlayStation Store, so this could well be a PC-only thing – we'll have to wait and see. Obviously we'll be sure to update you if any meaningful announcements are made.

But it's terrible, if they paid me to play it... nope. I was so hyped for this game but then I played the beta and oh my, dull dull dull.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Yeah, that's the problem. They can make the game free, but unless they're going to give me extra time in my day to play it, I'll still probably pass.
@Swiket quote of the year. The launch DLC price total was astronomical, I pity anybody that paid for all that.
@Swiket I always wanted to say I love the avatar and I love Micro Castles.
My local Best Buy still has loads of these. And now with this news it looks like they will have to pay people to take them now.
This game is basically ALWAYS on sale, usually at a steep discount. F2P is the next obvious place for it.
I was in on the Beta and thank goodness, as it saved me from making the mistake of purchasing this pile of doodoo. I played for an hour, and everything after the first few minutes was me being very generous with my time. I deleted it immediately after I quit out.
This is the video game equivalent of being audited at the dentist's.
My friend was super hyped for the game before release and I was very skeptical about it. Once I watched some gameplay I decided not to purchase it and my friend bought it, played it for about a month and traded it in.
This is one of the times being skeptical on a game was a good idea.
I may try it, but I really doubt it will keep me away from Overwatch!
I tried playing like 6 months after release and had to wait 15 minutes for a match and I don't live and Australia or anywhere where the internet is donk, there was just barely anybody playing.
It was just a bad idea. 4v1 is not as good as 6v6 or 32v32.
They gunna give me my £55 back lol, terrible game it wasn't only the game, there was no customisation, you unlocked a new character you got his new gun...and that was it. Outside of a hunt you could do one of two things, sit in the game start menu screen or go on a hunt. It was a good idea just terribly executed. Off topic why no 7 day's to die review, pesonaly I think that's the most in depth and probably the best game on the PS4 atm even if it can be run on a crap PC. I fully expect around a 7 from Pushsquare this isn't a dig it'll probably be about right the performance and graphic's aint up to much but from a personal taste i'd give it at least an 8, loving it (not as much as Overwatch but I admit i've not turned OW on since I bought this game).
Free not to play is a widely used comment i'm suprised you've not heard it before, funny but kinda old Also just edited to tell anyone that didn't know, Doom has 40% off in the store £29.99 sorry if you've covered this already I must have missed it (very tempting).
A really positive reaction here so far lol
