As anticipated from Monday's teaser 2K Games and developer Turtle Rock have released the first videos promoting Evolve, the first new game from the Left 4 Dead creators since their departure from Valve.

The first video is the obligatory cinematic trailer, but it seems to be made largely from in-game assets, introducing the game's four character classes and their giant monster predator foe. The backing song is a cover of Danzig's classic Mother, performed by the artist Lissie.

There's also a first look gameplay footage clip, offering some gameplay from both the hunter and monster points of view and a raft of developer commentary.

The video releases accompany a press embargo lift today, so you can find out our impressions of the game in this hands-on preview, and stay tuned for our developer interview with Turtle Rock.
