This new Evolve trailer breaks down exactly how the game works

By Adam Rosenberg January 21, 2015

We’ve seen a lot of jargon-riddled talk about Turtle Rock Studios’ Evolve, which terms like “asymmetric multiplayer” and “vertical gameplay” making sense to only the most savvy followers of games biz happenings. But what does it all mean?

That’s probably why Turtle Rock and publisher 2K Games put together this handy “Survival Guide” trailer. It’s a seven-minute rundown of how Evolve works, top to bottom. Learn how each of the hulking, player-controlled monsters work, as well as the four distinct classes of hunter pursuing them, the various modes you can play in, and the way neutral alien life forms interact with both the monster and the hunters.

Evolve missed its previously scheduled October 2014 release, with Turtle Rock citing the need for more time to polish up the experience. The game is now coming on February 10, 2015, for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One platforms.

NBA 2K23 is set to release on September 9, 2022, and 2K developers are starting to publically talk about big changes coming to the premier basketball simulator, and major improvements coming in the next installment. Notable improvements coming to this year's NBA 2K include an upgraded Pro Stick that will allow players to pull off more flashy dribble moves and emphatic dunks than ever before, more advanced AI teams that will react to your playstyle like real NBA teams, a new tiered badge system, and, of course, the option to hang on the rim post-dunk whenever you'd like.

"NBA 2K23 is nearly here and it features gameplay enhancements that elevate the competitive intensity in all facets. The main pillar for us this year can be summed up with one word: Authenticity," reads a release from the development team.

WWE 2K22 is my new favorite TV show

The Rock and John Cena face off in WWE 2K22.

I began watching wrestling in earnest in 2014. I was in the deepest depression of my life when a friend invited me over to watch WrestleMania 30. That just happened to be the year that WWE told one of media’s greatest underdog stories, as pipsqueak Daniel Bryan (or Bryan Danielson, as you may know him now) overcame impossible odds to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. It was an impactful moment -- one that gave me the confidence I needed to start the long climb out of a deep hole.

2K reportedly publishing two Lego sports games

Publishing giant 2K is partnering with Lego to produce multiple sports games, including a soccer title that is set to release later this year, according to a report from Video Games Chronicle.

Set to launch close to the start of this year's FIFA World Cup, 2K's upcoming soccer game is reportedly being developed by Sumo Digital, which has previously developed Crackdown 3, along with numerous entries in the Sonic Racing franchise. It's somewhat ironic then that 2K's second Lego game will be an open-world racing title developed by Visual Concepts, which itself has made multiple sports titles for 2K, including NBA 2K22 and WWE 2K22. The 2K Lego racing game will reportedly release in 2023. According to VGC's sources, a third Lego sports game based on a major sports franchise is also in development.
