"You’ve been asking, “When is the Big Alpha?!?” We waited until the time was right because an Alpha this big deserved to be stress-tested in a big way. Well, now we can finally tell you. This Halloween. Evolve’s treat: We’re flipping on the servers and inviting players around the world to join us.
Starting today, Xbox One players can register for priority access to the Alpha by visiting
Evolve Big Alpha. Xbox One players get a 24-hour head start and will be able to play from October 30th to November 2nd.
A limited number of PC and PlayStation 4 players are also welcome to join the hunt from October 31st and November 2nd. That’s right, after the overwhelming responses we’ve gotten from fans – and becoming the first game in history to win “Best of Show” at both this year’s E3 and Gamescom – we want to give people on every next-gen platform a chance to play. In order to join the Evolve Big Alpha on Xbox One, you’ll need to have Xbox Live Gold subscription. On PlayStation 4, you’ll need to have an active PS Plus membership.
As a special “Thank you” to everyone who’s already pre-ordered the game, you will be guaranteed a spot in the Big Alpha over the Halloween weekend if you pre-ordered through one of these participating retailers: GameStop, Amazon, Best Buy, Target and Walmart.
If you haven’t already pre-ordered, you should really consider it. Beyond guaranteeing yourself access to the Big Alpha, you’re also getting the fourth monster for free when it is ready after the game launches, and the alternate Savage Goliath skin. Participating retailers guaranteeing access to Big Alpha for those who pre-order starting today include Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart.
If you’re still on the fence, keep your eyes peeled here. Follow the Evolve social channels as we will be giving you plenty of chances to join the hunt.
