"It's purely looking at our own game. We'd be happy to go toe-to-toe with any other game out there, but for us we want the game to be as good as it can possibly be. We want to be as proud as we possibly can be about this game. So we just needed that extra couple of months to add that final polish," he said.

Evolve's gameplay will be comprised of five players. These five players involve four human hunters and one alien who eventually becomes a killing machine.

The four players must then cooperate in order to avoid being eaten by the monstrous creature in their team. Although Evolve focuses much on its multiplayer aspect, developer Turtle Rock teases that an individual experience might be in the works.
