Your first chance to play the new game from the creators of Left 4 Dead will come this Halloween, as the Xbox One gets a 24 hour exclusive.

Xbox One gamers will get an extra day to play the alpha of much fancied co-op shooter Evolve, as access to the game is set to begin from October 30.

Limited access to the closed alpha test will then be available on PlayStation 4 and PC from October 31. It’s not clear what ‘limited access’ actually means in this context, but the only sign-up page to join the alpha is currently for the Xbox One here.

‘A limited number of codes will also be made available elsewhere’, which will no doubt mean that they’ll be given out a random on the Evolve Blog, Facebook page, and Twitter.

However, if you’re already pre-ordered the game (or do so before October 21) then you’ll automatically go to the front of the queue and are guaranteed access.

‘The incredible reactions from early Evolve players have exceeded our highest expectations, but we still have a lot of hard work ahead of us in the coming months,’ says Turtle Rock’s Chris Ashton.

‘We need to stress test the servers and the matchmaking system, look at balance, unlock rates, etc. The alpha test is not fully representative of the final product, but it’s our chance to see what the game looks like in the real world, and we will test again in the open beta for Evolve exclusively for Xbox One in January 2015. The data gathered in the tests will help make Evolve the best that it can possibly be when it launches on February 10, 2015.’

Like most people we’ve been very impressed by what we’ve seen of the game so far, most recently at Gamescom in August. The premise is similar to Left 4 Dead, in that it’s a first person shooter where four players have to team-up and work together. But instead of hordes of zombies you’re facing off against one giant monster controlled by another player.

Man if this is better or as good as Left 4 Dead I'm going to be very excited. We haven't really had much info or hands-on with the game and bit now we can see how bad or good it is with the Alpha.

Hearing rumors that Xbox Users who pre-order and get the guaranteed code can use that code on the PS4 or PC Alphas waiting on verification on that.

You edited the entire thread, jackass.

This was originally a thread you made about the white MCC X1 bundle, hence the first comment :

I am aware I changed it. I changed it because it was old. OK.....

Well, that can be pretty significant in terms of getting coverage. Also, if the rumor of being able to use codes on XB on PS4 and PC are true this could be a good deal all around.

I actually played it in the closed alpha on the PC a couple months back. Its fun but not as good as L4D2, versus mode in that game had cooperation on both sides whereas in this the monster is alone. Also in l4d versus there was more focus/direction to matches since the survivors had to get to the end of a level and the infected had to stop them. This is just running around until one team dies, or very occasionally when the monster destroys the objective.

Also playing as the survivors at the start of many games can be quite slow as you run around trying to find the monster. The monster is very fragile at the start so it is best to just run away which makes things pretty dull for the other team.

The game has potential but it needed a lot of work, I'll be interested to see how things are coming along once this alpha hits.

thats going to be tough to balance and not fun because the game virtually play out the same way for the first 2 levels while the monster powers up. might be more fun to just pit a fully powered monster vs a team right from the get go

even then I dont see how they are going to make a full price game out of this idea. Seems better suited for like a budget MP game.

For 25 bucks you can get Natural Selection 2 which has way more depth than Evolve could dream of having and a lot of the same cat/mouse gameplay and evolving alien progression.

Can't remember if I already entered my code or not. I know I preordered the game awhile back. I'll have to check my receipt.

Yes, we had the first alpha over a month ago for longer than a day. It was a weekend or so.

@TigerSuperman does not have his facts straight.

"Alpha 1st on Xbox One"?

Funny.., I could've sworn I've already participated in the Alpha test months ago on another platform.

24 whole hours. Dem deep MS pockets. It's so bad @RR360DD is white knighting for them.

So is this the next overhyped MS-associated shooter?
