Latest EVE Online News

Any players who have logged into their EVE Online accounts since the launch of Ascension back in November 2016 have been gifted with a brand spankin' new Abyssal Filament in honor of the arrival of the Into the Abyss content expansion. Players can receive any one of four filaments, each with its own risks and rewards when used.

EVE Online players can now check out the latest content offering after today's launch of the "Into the Abyss" expansion. Players will be headed to the Abyssal Deadspace, "a dangerous uncharted territory inhabited by a hostile new faction, the Triglavian Collective, and return with new weapons and technology impacting the full sandbox of New Eden".

The EVE Online site has been updated with the news that the next content expansion, Into the Abyss, will be launching on Tuesday, May 29th. Players can expect a 30 minute downtime to deploy the patch starting at 3:00 am Pacific / 6:00 am Eastern. The expansion comes with new content to all areas of space as well as "stunning new environments that breathe new life and bring new content to all areas of space".

The EVE Online site has been updated with a lengthy new blog to lay out some of the details about the change over and details regarding Faction Citadels coming on June 5th. All Outposts and Conquerable Stations will be converted to Upwell STructures at that time. The blog is designed to provide information to players about how to best prepare for the June 5th swap.

At EVE FanFest in Reykjavik this past weekend, one couldn't go far without seeing the papal hats of the Sixth Empire adorining bags or hanging around the necks of capsuleers as they went to and from panels and events in the Harpa Concert Hall. The Sixth Empire has operated in EVE Online for years now and while over five hundred people at any given time are active within the Empire, one man has come to define what EVE's most visible neutral faction does: The Space Pope.

During the weekend's EVE Fanfest 2018, CCP Games revealed that it would be taking the annual event on the road in 2019 for the first time in its history. Fanfest 2019 will take place in four locations: Amsterdam, Australia and in locations on the East and West coasts of the USA. And if THAT'S not enough to be excited about, EVE players can submit a video to convince CCP to hold Fanfest right in their living room with large scale events held in and around the winner's city.

CCP Games has announced the next expansion for EVE Online. Called Into the Abyss, players can look for the new content in May 2018. According to developers, "Into the Abyss adds exciting exploration and survival gameplay in the form of Abyssal Deadspace, a brand new hostile environment filled with hazardous environmental effects and mysterious adversaries, the Triglavian Collective".

CCP has partnered with Kongregate Partners and Playraven to bring EVE: War of Ascension, formerly known as Project Aurora, to iOS and Android devices later in 2018. The game is a free-to-play MMO set in the EVE universe. Players will work together to form alliances and corporations. EVE: War of Ascension is "designed to appeal to both the franchise's fans as well as more casual players".
