Turtle Rock Studios confirms that the next major update for Evolve is coming later today on PC, in the form of patch 1.3, and next week on PS4 and Xbox One. A full changelog has been supplied, detailing the many different nerfs and buffs made to the monsters and the hunters in the game.

Evolve launched back in November and delivered its long-awaited multiplayer experience that pit against each other a team of four hunters, who worked together, and a human-controlled monster who must survive, evolve, and counter the squishy hunters.

As you can imagine, this competitive experience relies on great balance, as no faction must be too powerful or too weak. While data revealed by Turtle Rock confirm that the title is quite balanced, as no faction has a definitive advantage, the studio is always watching the stats and reading feedback from users.

Patch 1.3 brings major balance tweaks to all playable characters

Now, Turtle Rock mentions on the official website that update 1.3 is coming later today on PC, and next week on the PS4 and Xbox One platforms, bringing with it a wide array of changes designed to make the whole experience more balanced.

First up, both the Kraken and the Wraith monsters have received an array of tweaks to ensure that they aren't too powerful or too weak, in some situations. The biggest change arrives for Wraith, one of the most controversial monsters in the game due to its high risk, high reward strategy, as the Warp Blast ability is being turned into a damage dealer instead of a traversal mechanic.

Many different hunters have received some buffs and nerfs, depending on their own situation, from Markov, to Hyde, Parnell, Maggie, Griffin, Bucket, Cabot, Val, and Caira, each with different tweaks.

You can check out the full changelog below and look forward to the actual debut of the patch in the near future.
