This afternoon Firaxis announced that Sid Meier's Starships will release on March 12, 2015. The game will be available for $14.99 on PC, Mac and the iPad.

Turtle Rock Studios' 4v1 shooter, Evolve, finally hit the shelves today. In Evolve, a co-op team of four players hunt down a player-controlled monster, which can evolve and becomes stronger during the match. There's a plethora of purchase options available for the game on the PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, ranging from just the base game up to various add-on skins or monsters.

This past weekend at PAX South, Firaxis held a panel discussing the link between Civilization: Beyond Earth and their upcoming game, Sid Meier's Starships. Creator Sid Meier had a live gameplay demo of Starships near the end of the panel, which you can watch below!

Solo Gameplay Experience

This morning, 2K Games and Turtle Rock Studios released an extended look at two Evolve matches from a solo perspective. The first shows a single player as the monster pitted against AI hunters, while the second has one player controlling the entire team of hunters by hot-swapping classes during the match.

Earlier today Firaxis and 2K Games announced the latest game from the developer of the Civilization series. Sid Meier's Starships, a turn-based "adventure-driven strategy" game, will be coming to PC (on Steam), Mac and iPad in early 2015.

This morning 2K announced that a new studio, helmed by Haden Blackman, has been formed. Hangar 13, whose slogan is 'every player story is unique', is currently developing an unannounced, next-generation title.

"It was an easy choice bringing on a talented creative mind and proven leader like Haden Blackman to head our new 2K studio,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. “Under Blackman’s direction, Hangar 13 will lead the charge in creating some of the most memorable AAA experiences of this generation.”

The Evolve Big Alpha weekend was definitely a blast; nearly every top-tier journalism site started tossing out alpha codes by the thousands and the masses gobbled them up for the weekend to test out the game servers. Streamers, YouTube personalities, weekend adventurists and even teenage brothers and sisters joined the massive asymmetrical shootfest of man against monstrosity. An impressive turnout definitely helped 2K Games / Turtle Rock to turn development and server testing towards the right direction, but is it enough to promise that the game will have lasting power? We take a look.

Today is your last chance to guarantee your spot in Evolve's Big Alpha! Xbox One users will be able to jump in on October 30th, and PC/PlayStation 4 players will be one day later on Halloween.

Evolve's Big Alpha is quickly approaching so 2K Games and Turtle Rock Studios have left us this tantalizing teaser of the pre-order bonus Savage Goliath skin.
