Good news for those of you who are planning on grabbing Evolve when it comes out early next year, Turtle Rock Studios' Phil Robb has confirmed that all DLC maps for the game will be free to all.
"We can't break the community up, so all of our maps will be free," Robb told IGN. "We never want anyone to get booted off of a server because they haven't bought something."
"We'll have [DLC] characters and monsters, and even if you don't buy them, if your buddy wants to buy the DLC, that's cool, and your game will be enhanced through his purchase. You won't be able to play as those characters, but you will certainly be able to play with those characters."
This is fantastic news in our opinion, as far too many publishers / developers are happy to split up their community by charging for additional multiplayer maps post-launch. Although Evolve players will be able to buy content (new monsters and hunters), at least it won't limit your ability to get a game. We approve.
Evolve is heading to Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC in February. Those who pre-order the 4vs1 multiplayer game will get the first DLC included as part of the deal.
