News: The DLC plans for Evolve have been revealed by Turtle Rock Studios and include both paid and free DLC later this year.

2K and Turtle Rock Studios have revealed their DLC plans for their upcoming game Evolve. The announcement was broken up into three announcements which were the following:

Evolve’s fourth playable Monster, Behemoth, is coming this Spring and is as enormous as the name implies, becoming a giant, destructive boulder that can roll through the environment for quick traversal.
The Evolve Hunting Season Pass will include four new playable Hunters coming this Spring and three exclusive Monster skins available at launch.
A Digital Deluxe Edition is available for all platforms, as well as a PC digital exclusive PC Monster Race Edition. As part of the digital edition reveals, it was also confirmed that a fifth playable Monster character and two more additional Hunter characters are planned as DLC on Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

Even if a player never purchases a single Evolve DLC character, he or she will still have the opportunity to play against those characters in online multiplayer or offline solo, further enriching a players’ gameplay experience long after they originally purchased the game. Not only that, but all maps and other community features will be free.

Additionally, Evolve is now available for pre-purchase as a digital download for Xbox One. Players who pre-purchase Evolve digitally on Xbox One starting today can pre-load the game now through launch on February 10, 2015. Pre-purchasing Evolve or the Evolve Digital Deluxe Edition for Xbox One grants players an exclusive instant unlock of the third Monster and the third tier of Hunters at launch and for use during the Xbox One Open Beta.
