Evolve Beta Coming To Xbox One

Xbox One owners will have a chance to test Evolve this January.

Evolve's open Beta will start from 6AM ET/3AM PT/11AM GMT on Thursday, January 15, and will run until January 19, 2015.

During the first two days, players will be able to try out Evolve's core mode, Hunt, in which one monster is put against four hunters. During this time, they will be able to unlock additional hunters and monsters.

On January 17, Xbox One open beta players will gain exclusive access to Evolve's dynamic campaign mode, Evacuation.

Turtle Rock and 2K also revealed the game's third monster named Wraith.

"The Wraith is our assassin," said Turtle Rock co-founder Phil Robb. "Sometimes when you're fighting Wraith, you feel like you're getting hit from every different direction. Like all the other monsters, she has four abilities. The first one is her Warp Blast. She's kind of a teleporting monster. She zips in and basically creates a big blast. The Wraith can create a decoy, so the decoy basically just appears out of nowhere. What happens is, when the decoy appears, the Wraith actually goes invisible. The nice thing about the decoy is that it does damage, as well, but it's a great distraction. So you send your decoy out then you invisibly sneak away, so you can escape, if that's your prerogative, or re-position so you can attack from a different angle. The third ability is the Supernova. Supernova basically creates a big area of effect and as long as the Wraith is inside that area of effect, she is a crazy killing machine. What it does it takes her melee attacks and supercharges them. It's very visible, easy to see. She becomes this white energy and her attacks go completely berzerk. Her damage per second just skyrockets while she's inside the area of effect. Of course, the Hunters can just leave that area of effect so that she has to come out to fight them, but that sort of leads me to her fourth ability, which is Abduction. With Abduction, she basically grabs onto her target, and warps back to her original position."
