2K Games has revealed Behemoth will be the fourth Evolve monster, alongside the DLC release plans for the game.
Behemoth, the fourth playable monster for Evolve, is a tank-type monster that will be made available as a standalone purchase in Spring ($14.99).
However, you’ll also get him as part of the Monster Expansion Pack if you pre-purchase between now and release on February 10.
“Evolve’s fourth monster is practically a tank – becoming a giant, destructive boulder and rolling through the environment, dealing massive damage to Hunters,” reads the YouTube blurb.

He can launch Lava Bombs at the Hunters, which are effective at both long and short range. They shatter into continuously burning fragments on impact, damaging the environment and any Hunters in their path.
Then there’s the Rock Wall attack, which Behemoth can use to trap victims inside with him, or protect him from oncoming Hunters.
Behemoth can also use his harpoon-like tongue to grab distant Hunters and draw them into him for a powerful melee attack. Or he can use his Fissure attack to fracture the terrain with a wave of destruction that burns and stuns anything or anyone in the blast radius.
The DLC details for Evolve have also been announced, including a special Hunting Season Pass, Digital Deluxe Edition and a PC Monster Race Edition.
The Hunting Season Pass includes four new playable Hunters, one in each class. The Hunters won’t be available until the Spring, but you’ll be able to get three Monster skins at launch: Magma Goliath, Magma Wrath and Magma Kraken.
