Evaluation
Evolve Stage 2 is no longer available for purchase on Steam — the store page shows no purchase options, meaning it has been removed from sale. The game originally launched in February 2015 as a paid title, then relaunched as a free-to-play game on July 7, 2016 under the "Evolve Stage 2" branding. During the Stage 2 era, Turtle Rock Studios was active and releasing content at a rapid pace, publishing major updates roughly every 1–3 weeks between July and October 2016, including new characters, map variants, and game modes. However, all developer communications in the record stop in October 2016, with the last major update (Update 2.16 / Glacial Behemoth) dated October 25, 2016. No further posts, patches, or announcements appear after that date. The game has since been delisted and can no longer be downloaded or purchased.
Evidence
Update 2.16 launched the Glacial Behemoth adaptation — this is the last recorded developer communication.
Developer confirmed plans to continue adding new and exciting content to the game and announced a month-long Shear Madness content event.
