Evolve just got delayed by a few months, according to Take-Two's latest financial results. No reasons were given for the delay that sees Turtle Rock Studios' promising multiplayer game moving from an October 21 release date to February 10, 2015. The earnings report states that:
"Evolve, a new intellectual property for next-gen consoles and PC developed by Turtle Rock Studios, the creators of the cooperative shooter classic, Left 4 Dead, won more than 50 editorial honors at the 2014 Electronic Entertainment Expo, including the coveted Game Critics Award top honor for Best of Show. The title is now planned to launch globally on February 10, 2015."
This confirms that Evolve is joining a long list of games that have been delayed until 2015. Gamescom will hopefully shed some light into the reasons behind the move.
