According to Take-Two Interactive and their first-quarter financial results, Evolve has now been pushed into 2015. The game was originally slated to be released on October 21 of this year but the Turtle Rock developed 4vs1 title won't be out now until February 10, 2015.

According to statements made to MCV, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said that the delay is for polish.
"It was the primary belief that polish pays off," Zelnick says.

"When we give a title that is looking so promising, having won best of show at E3, a bit more time to make sure it is just as good as it can be, historically that has always been a good move to us. Equally, I do like the February release date, I have to tell you. If you look at our history since we took over the company seven years ago, we have largely stayed out of the Holiday period and gone into what our competitors consider 'non-traditional' release windows. And that has served us very well. In February we are going to get the benefit of this new install base from over Christmas, and February will be wide open."

This might be for the best though, at least for 2K, since the company already has four other games due out this October, including another co-op focused title with Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.
"We have a pretty busy schedule in October," adds Zelnick. "With regards to NBA and WWE, they belong in October, they are annualised released. The rest of it we think are well position, Civilization: Beyond Earth is a title that typically sells over a very long period of time, so that initial release date is not super-relevant. And Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is being offered for current-gen, so it is arguably going to be seen amongst a different competitive set."
