Latest EVE Online News

In a press release today, EVE Online developer CCP provided additional details on Aether Wars Phase Two, originally announced at EVE North.

In the three or so years I've played EVE Online off an on, I've really struggled with one core question: Who do I want to be? Within New Eden, Capsuleers can literally be anything they choose: A Diplomat for a large player-run corporation, a spy not unlike those from the Cold War, or even a space trucker who hauls goods along New Eden's valuable trade routes.

Today, Eve admins dropped a final overview of a new change to null-sec space. This lawless section of CCP's great online adventure is about to find all local chat flipped over to delayed mode. What this means for the space-based entrepreneur, because I'd never call anybody a thieving pirate, is a definite shift in nullsec's dynamic. Players who chose to run silently will no longer appear in the local population, only cropping up if they type into the chat.

EVE Online has already carved out a reputation for being the catalyst for some of gaming's most interesting stories. Those stories are driven by the thousands of dedicated players who make EVE's New Eden home. Whether it's backstabbing an alliance someone has infiltrated or exploring every system in New Eden, EVE Online players have proven themselves to create some of gaming's most unique stories to date.

EVE Online capsuleers will need to be wary when taking to the skies as a galactic Drifter invasion has begun. In a new "news report" called The Scope (direct from New Eden), the devastating news of the Drifter invasion is detailed. "CCP reached out to the Drifters for comment, but they rejected the team's hailing frequencies. An image was intercepted that is causing a lot of consternation as it is unknown, though it appears to be something of a Drifter meme...

No other MMO in today's gaming industry has a more storied, player-driven history than EVE Online. One might argue the legends of "World Firsts!" guilds in WoW can give EVE a run for its money, but simply no other game today can compete with the player-driven and player-created drama that unfolds daily in New Eden. From political controversies to back stabbings and alliance betrayals, the stories of capsuleers in New Eden are the lore many gamers love to learn about.

Invasion has officially launched into EVE Online. The latest content expansion brings a new storyline into the game starting with the first chapter of the Triglavian story "plunging New Eden into chaos". Players will have to "meet the threat head-on" as they battle enemy ships with "escalating consequences" while earning some of the game's newest rewards.

With the looming release of EVE Online's next content expansion, Invasion, CCP Games is treating fans to a new cinematic trailer. In Invasion, players will see the "fearsome Triglavian forces" come into known space for the first time ever.

From May 23rd to May 25th, EVE Online Steam players can take home a free Invasion Starter Kit that contains a number of goodies for new pilots. Players will receive a week's worth of Omega premium access, 250k Skill Points, a Standard Cerebral Accelerator, 5x Tier 1 Abyssal Filaments, Ship SKINs from previous events and the Blood Raider apparel. Players can claim the gift starting today at 10:00 am Pacific / 1:00 pm Eastern.

EVE: infinite Galaxy is an upcoming mobile game that is being developed in cooperation between CCP Games and NetEase.
