After months of teasing, Turtle Rock Studios is finally ready to unveil Evolve‘s fourth Monster, Behemoth, which will be released as part of the game’s Monster Expansion Pack. The Monster Expansion Pack is being offered as a bonus to players who pre-order, but it will also be sold separately for $14.99. Either way you acquire it, the Monster Expansion Pack will be available this Spring.
So what can we expect from Behemoth? Aside from the excellent Indiana Jones-inspired trailer above, the rocky beast is the largest Monster that will ever be offered in Evolve. He is stronger than any other Monster and has more health and tougher armor too. Thankfully, he cannot leap or jump, but he can curl himself into a ball and roll over the Hunters.
Want more? The Evolve News Blog has an infographic comparing Behemoth’s girth to other grand endeavors and details his four attacks:
- Lava Bombs: Effective at short and long range, these mortar bombs shatter into fragments and continue to burn the area around them, including any Hunters who find themselves in the damage radius.
- Rock Wall: Creates a large, semi-circular rock structure that either traps victims inside with Behemoth, or locks him away from attackers.
- Tongue Grab: Behemoth uses his harpoon-like tongue to snatch a distant target and pull it into melee.
- Fissure: A wave of destruction blasts out of Behemoth, fracturing the terrain and scalding and stunning everything in its path.
Turtle Rock has also outlined some additional downloadable content that will grace Evolve after its PC, PS4, and Xbox One launch on February 10:
The Hunting Season Pass will include “Magma” skins for the three main Monsters and four new playable Hunters. The Hunting Season Pass will be available in the Spring and has been priced at $24.99 (each Hunter will also be sold separately for $7.49 apiece). It’s also available as part of the Digital Deluxe Edition, which will also include the main game and the Monster Expansion Pack. The Digital Deluxe Edition will be sold exclusively as a digital download, which has been priced at $79.99.
Lastly, the PC Monster Race Edition is a digital download exclusively for the PC that includes the main game, the Hunting Season Pass, the Monster Expansion Pack, and a special bundle of DLC featuring a fifth Monster, two additional Hunters, and four PC Monster Race-exclusive Monster skins. The PC Monster Race Edition has been priced at $99.99.
