Evolve Stage 2 is a free-to-play asymmetric multiplayer shooter developed by Turtle Rock Studios, released for PC in 2016. The core structure pits a team of four human hunters against a single player-controlled monster in competitive 4v1 matches. Each hunter occupies a distinct role with a specialized skill set, while the monster must avoid and outmaneuver the opposing team long enough to gain strength and press an advantage. The asymmetry between the two sides shapes every encounter differently depending on which side a player occupies, as the hunters coordinate to track and eliminate the creature while the monster attempts to evade detection and exploit weaknesses in the team's formation. The game is a standalone free release built from the earlier retail version of Evolve.
