Evolve Stage 2 is a multiplayer first-person FPS game.

The game was originally released as Evolve; the game's title changed due to a large update that converted the game into a free-to-play format.[1]

The game is no longer available, except for current owners and unused retail copies.[2] Online servers for Stage 2 were shut down in September 2018,[3] but the game can still be played using peer-to-peer mode in the Legacy Evolve version.[4]
