“I have played it myself with multiple of my server members. “The servers are in fact back on for Stage 2,” Discord administrator Pinocchioh told me. But unexpectedly, and without explanation, Evolve Stage 2 started working again, too. They complained, 2K fixed the problem, and peer-to-peer functionality in Evolve was returned. It remained until June of this year, when a relay server that handles Legacy Evolve’s matchmaking went down, leaving the small but dedicated community on the Evolve Reunited 2.0 Discord unable to play together. The only thing left for players following the end of server support was battling bots in training mode. Peer-to-peer functionality remained for Legacy Evolve, 2K’s name for the original game after it released the free-to-play version, but Evolve Stage 2, which relied on dedicated servers, was completely shut down. We enjoyed that iteration too, but it didn’t fare any better, and 2K pulled the plug in June 2018. We enjoyed our time with it, but it failed to catch fire with players, and a little over a year later it went free to play as Evolve Stage 2. Left 4 Dead and Back 4 Blood developer Turtle Rock Studios originally released Evolve in early 2015, and unfortunately, it did not go well. Four years after the servers were taken offline, which effectively killed the game, they appear to have returned.
Something strange is going on with Evolve Stage 2, 2K Games’ long-dead free-to-play 4v1 FPS.
