If you’ve heard so much about Evolve that you just want to get around to playing the game already, and you’ve been waiting for the alpha to just go live, then you’re in luck- the Evolve Big Alpha is finally going live worldwide on October 30 on Xbox One, although it will also be made available on PS4 and PC in a limited capacity 24 hours later.

“The incredible reactions from early Evolve players have exceeded our highest expectations, but we still have a lot of hard work ahead of us in the coming months,” said Chris Ashton, co-founder and design director at Turtle Rock Studios. “We need to stress test the servers and the matchmaking system, look at balance, unlock rates, etc. The alpha test is not fully representative of the final product, but it’s our chance to see what the game looks like in the real world, and we will test again in the open beta for Evolve exclusively for Xbox One in January 2015. The data gathered in the tests will help make Evolve the best that it can possibly be when it launches on February 10, 2015.”

To sign up for the alpha, visit the game’s official website, and bear in mind the alpha will conclude on November 2 on all platforms. 

Evolve launches in February 2015; stay tuned to GamingBolt for more coverage.

The listing says: “Black Rock Studio, a Disney Interactive Studio, is currently looking for an experienced Technical Art Director to join the team who are developing an unannounced game on Xbox 360 & PS3.”

The candidates should have “a strong passion and expert knowledge for games of all genres but particularly in the Racing and driving genres” according to the listing.

We scored Split/Second an 8.0/10, and definitely hope this is a sequel to the game, which not only improves upon the faults of the predecessor, but adds some tweaks of its own into the mix as well.
