Cancelled Evolve 2: Planned Expansion for the Franchise
Turtle Rock Studios, with support from 2K Games, released Evolve in February 2015. However, the game did not meet expectations, and support for it ceased less than two years after its launch. Despite Evolve’s performance, Turtle Rock Studios considered developing a sequel, Evolve 2, aiming to refine original concepts and revisit its world. According to TJ Frame, an illustrator at Turtle Rock Studios, planning for Evolve 2 began shortly after the first game’s release. After several months of preparation, the studio cancelled the project to focus on other ideas. One of these new concepts was a cooperative shooter that ultimately became Back 4 Blood, released in October 2021 with Warner Bros. Games. The cancelled Evolve 2 was intended to broaden the Evolve franchise, feature upgraded graphics, incorporate sequential missions, and introduce new locations on the planet Shear.
