Developer Turtle Rock Studios once conceptualized a sequel. This was recently revealed through 15 pieces of concept art shared on the website of an artist who worked at the studio, which also described new environments the game might have included.
According to the website of TJ Frame, a former artist at Turtle Rock Studios, Evolve 2 began development shortly after the launch of the first game. However, after spending a few months in pre-production, the project was canceled when Turtle Rock shifted focus to other ideas and pitches, one of which eventually became the divisive co-op multiplayer co-op shooter, Back 4 Blood.
The illustrations showcase designs for cities and various ships that, according to the artist, were part of one of the game's envisioned locations, a massive asteroid mining station tentatively named "The Akhenaten." The game also planned to return to Shear, the planet featured in the original title, with more sequentially oriented missions. The city images give a glimpse of the new locations the team intended to introduce to the planet.
