Evolve gameplay footage shows the Kraken in action

If you're lucky enough to have access to the Evolve alpha then this video won't be of much interest, but to everyone else: here's over 20 minutes of raw footage from the forthcoming cooperative shooter. Watch as YouTube user jackfrags plays as a Kraken, trying his darndest to stay alive in the face of a four-strong human onslaught. Watch as he prevails against the odds.

We counted Evolve among our favourite PC games at E3 2014. The team shooter is set to launch October 21.
