2K announces the release of Kala, a new support class hunter that's the latest
new content addition to
Evolve, the four-versus-one shooter from Turtle
Rock Studios. This is available as an individual purchase, as part of the
Hunting Season 2, or as part of the Evolve: Ultimate Edition, which includes
both Hunting Season 1 and Hunting Season 2.
This
post from last week has details on the character along with
a teaser trailer
showing her in action. Here's the announcement:
2K and Turtle Rock
Studios today announced that Kala, a new Support class Hunter, is now available
for Evolve™, the 4v1 shooter in which four Hunters cooperatively fight to take
down a single-player controlled Monster. This unique new Support character
utilizes abilities similar to those possessed by Evolve’s various Monsters. Kala
is available individually or as part of Hunting Season 2*, which also includes
Gorgon (Monster), Lennox (Assault class), Jack (Trapper class) and Emet (Medic
class).
Dr. Kala Kapur is an expert on Monster biology and has spliced their DNA into
her own genome in order to control the Monsters’ abilities and use them in
battle. Her array of unique abilities include:
- Siren Missiles – an improvement on Kraken
technology, these airborne missiles home in on nearby enemies. When placed
on the ground, they become more powerful, slower moving homing mines;
- Teleport Pads – an improvement on Wraith
technology, these pads allow teammates to move instantaneously from one part
of the map to another;
- Armor Reducer – using Goliath’s armor
technology, the Armor Reducer shoots a beam which temporarily removes the
Monster’s armor. The armor quickly regenerates once the beam connection
breaks.

Additionally, players new to Evolve can obtain all currently available and
announced playable characters, including Kala, as part of the Evolve: Ultimate
Edition. Available now at select North American and Latin American retailers,
the Evolve: Ultimate Edition includes the base game, Monster Expansion Pack,
Hunting Season 1 and Hunting Season 2.
