In addition, all DLC characters will be free to access on PS4, Xbox One and PC this weekend, with a free Meteor Goliath monster also available permanently from September 3.

Based on the Goliath, the Meteor Goliath features a new look, audio and attacks capable of increased range, including an enhanced Rock Throw, Leap Smash, Fire Breath and Charge.

  • Rock Throw now travels faster and lights enemies on fire
  • Leap Smash has increased range and lights enemies on fire
  • Fire Breath has increased range and emits blue flames
  • Charge has a longer duration and lights enemies on fire

Evolve launched on PS4, Xbox One and PC back in February but didn’t quite live up to expectations, scoring a 6/10 in our review.
