Turtle Rock Studios, the studio behind Evolve, promised that all of the game's extra maps would always be free.
The team didn't want to split up players into those that had the DLC and those that didn't, and it's a smart move: it ensures that anyone is able to play with anyone, though fans have had to wait and see if the studio would keep its promise.
Thankfully, Turtle Rock Studios has: the studio announced today that the first two DLC maps for Evolve, Broken Hill Mine and Broken Hill Foundry, will be released for free on March 31st.
There's no video of the maps just yet, but the Evolve team will be livestreaming the reveal later today: at 4pm PST on March 12, head on over to the Evolve Twitch channel to see both the Broken Hill Mine and Foundry maps. If you can't make it, there's going to be a second stream on Friday, March 13 at 3pm PST, and both can be seen via the player below:
There's been a lot of press about the ridiculous amount of downloadable content that Evolve shipped with, but most of that was cosmetic - it's nice to see that, for now, Turtle Rock Studios is keeping the DLC that matters free for everyone.
The Broken Hill Map Pack, which consists of the Broken Hill Mine and Broken Hill Foundry maps, will be released on March 31.
