Evolve will receive several bits of DLC, but Turtle Rock is not planning to slap a price tag on maps, stating that they will be available for free to everyone.

Evolve recently wrapped up its 'Big Alpha' period a few weeks ago and is preparing for its big 2015 launch. While post-support DLC maps are a given, Turtle Rock Studios creative director Phil Robb offered a cool bit of news for prospective Evolve owners by noting that those maps would be available to all players for free.

"One of the things that we've been real careful to stress is that our DLC plans, we approached it as consumers," Robb told IGN. "First thing we said is, we can't break the community up outright, so all of our maps will be free. We would never want anyone to get booted off of a server because they haven't bought something. That sucks."

Robb follows this up by noting that DLC hunters and monsters would be offered at a price, but those that don't own them will still be able to play against them in online multiplayer.

Evolve is set to release in February 2015.
