Turtle Rock Studios has shared details about Behemoth, the fourth playable monster in Evolve, as well as information about the upcoming game’s downloadable content plans.

If Wraith was all about skill and speed, Behemoth is at the other end of the spectrum, relying on its raw size and strength to pummel hunters into submission. What it lacks in speed and jumping ability, it makes up for with massive, damage-soaking health and armor, and the ability to reshape the arena to trap and punish hunters. Behemoth is literally the largest possible monster in Evolve, designed at the very limit of what the game’s maps could reasonably accommodate. Behemoth is free for anyone that pre-orders Evolve, and otherwise available for $15 in the Monster Expansion Pack this coming spring.

Four new hunters will become available following launch with the Hunting Season Pass. The pass also includes alternate, “Magma” skins for Goliath, Kraken, and Wraith, which will be available at launch. The Season Pass costs $25, saving you about $5 over purchasing all of that content individually. Save an additional $5 by pre-ordering the Digital Deluxe Edition for $80 (versus $60 for the regular digital pre-order), which includes the game, Monster Expansion Pack, and Hunting Season Pass. Finally, the most dedicated fans can order the PC Monster Race Edition, which includes all of the above plus the unannounced fifth monster and fifth and sixth hunters, whenever they become available.

Evolve launches on PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One on February 10, 2015. Xbox One gamers get an early chance to join the hunt with an open beta starting on January 15. Hunters and monsters unlocked during the beta roll over into the full game on release.

PlayStation Plus’ most notable free April offerings come from Microsoft
Four players stand together in the 4v4 PvP mode of Minecraft Legends.

Sony outlined all the new offerings PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers can expect in April; surprisingly, Microsoft is the company behind two of this month's four offerings, Minecraft Legends, and the Overwatch 2 Mega Bundle.

On April 2, PS Plus can get those two things free of charge in addition to Immortals of Aveum and Skul: The Hero Slayer. Immortals of Aveum is a single-player shooter where players use magic instead of weapons. Although the thing it's most notable for is flopping upon its release, Immortals of Aveum is still a solid shooter that you might have missed out on, and you should give it a shot now that you can get it through PS Plus. Meanwhile, Skul: The Hero Slayer is a tough 2D platformer roguelike that should entertain fans of that genre for quite some time.

Mecha Break’s robot customization shakes up the battle royale formula
Mecha Break robot head with glowing blue eyes

Mecha Break isn't the kind of multiplayer game you can master right away.

You might equip a lance that you barely know how to use because it seemed like a good idea, and spend the rest of a round attempting to bash yourself into enemies to help your teammates. It incorporates action that's more similar to that of Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon than it is to the shooter-focused gameplay in Gundam Evolution, Bandai Namco's multiplayer mecha shooter that shut down last year. Overwatch does come to mind, but in a way where mechs are still the focus rather than the pilots within them.
