The other day the company My.com announced the sequel to the game “Evolution: the Battle for Utopia”. We talked to the general producer of the project By Alexander Enin about the game.
Hi! What key changes should players expect?
Alexander EninHi !
There are two important differences. First, we are changing the approach to the Player’s Base. In the second part of the game, it will be fundamentally different. Functionally, it will perform similar tasks, but it will look and be managed quite differently. I will not reveal all the cards now, but I will say that it will become more storylined, atmospheric and lively. The second difference is the cooperative component of the game, which we want to raise to a new level in Evolution 2. Evolution-1 is a single–player game, and in Evolution-2 we want to give players the opportunity to fight together both in PvE and PvP.
At what stage is the development at the moment?
At the moment we are finishing forming a team. The same team that created the first part will work on Evolution-2, but in order to achieve our ambitious goals, I decided to strengthen it. Therefore, we have additionally attracted a very experienced art director to work on Evolution-2, who should raise the artistic value of the game to a higher level, as well as another producer who will deal with the PVP segment of the game.
The original “Evolution” was released exactly a year ago. A short time for a free-2-play project. Why did you start creating a sequel so early?
The thing is that “Evolution 2” is not so much a continuation as a spin-off to the first “Evolution”. That is, both of these games will exist and develop simultaneously. The plot of “Evolution-2” begins from the moment when in “Evolution-1” we kill General Kurbatov, and gives us the opportunity to participate in all subsequent events, but in the person of another hero, namely captain of the Black Legion Walter Blake, who is the enemy of the commander from the first part. I don’t want Evolution-2 to somehow overshadow Evolution-1, on the contrary, I want to achieve synergy between the two projects. So, right now in Evolution-1, after Kurbatov’s murder, Walter Blake’s base will appear on the world map, for whom we can play in Evolution-2. Also, Evolution-2 provides very serious features that will be revealed to you depending on your progress in Evolution-1. So to get the most out of the game, you will need to play both parts of it.
The game itself, as we understand, should not be expected before 2016, and when should we wait for the first screenshots?
The first details about the game will appear in June. We will issue them through the Developer Diaries and will send them to everyone who left their coordinates on this site: http://evo2.my.com/promo/ru/.
Thanks for the interview!
