Five New Characters Being Added to Evolve

Lennox will be the first Hunter in Evolve who has a melee attack.

Turtle Rock Studios and publisher 2K Games have announced that Evolve will receive five new characters.

All of the five characters will be available before March 31. The first one will be available to buy next week, starting June 23 for consoles and PC. Everyone who buys Lennox--and the four other upcoming characters--will also receive an "exclusive" skin.

Lennox is a unique character as she is  first Hunter in Evolve who has a melee attack. She wears a mechanized "Thunderchild" suit that is outfitted with a Plasma Lance that "deals massive amounts of damage in close combat." She also has ranged attacks called Autocannon and Thunder Strike.

The four other characters have not been detailed. They will be offered individually or through the Hunting Season 2 pack, though pricing details were not announced.

“The new Monster and Hunters coming to Evolve in Hunting Season 2 are some of the most unique characters our team has created," Turtle Rock design director Chris Ashton said in a statement. "Each of these characters introduces combat mechanics that are brand new to the Evolve gameplay experience."
