But the real mystery is that 2K says it hasn't actually changed anything at all: A rep confirmed that the original Evolve relay server, which enables players to find each other for peer-to-peer play, went down and was fixed, but said the dedicated servers that Stage 2 relies on-and that were switched off in 2018-were not touched, remain offline, and are definitely not coming back. The return of Evolve Stage 2 came with no announcement at all from 2K Games, and the game itself remains unlisted on Steam: It's still there if you have a direct link, but it's hidden from searches so nobody's going to accidentally stumble across it and start playing.

They complained, 2K fixed the problem, and peer-to-peer functionality in Evolve was returned. The only thing left for players following the end of server support was battling bots in training mode.Īnd so it remained until June of this year, when a relay server that handles Legacy Evolve's matchmaking went down, leaving the small but dedicated community on the Evolve Reunited 2.0 Discord unable to play together. Peer-to-peer functionality remained for Legacy Evolve-2K's name for the original game after it released the free-to-play version-but Evolve Stage 2, which relied on dedicated servers, was completely shut down. We enjoyed that iteration too, but it didn't fare any better, and 2K pulled the plug in June 2018.

We enjoyed our time with it, but it failed to catch fire with players, and a little over a year later it went free to play as Evolve Stage 2. Left 4 Dead and Back 4 Blood developer Turtle Rock Studios originally released Evolve in early 2015, and unfortunately it did not go well.
