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 new content includes an "exciting solo survival gameplay" element:
Players can enter this unstable part of space from almost anywhere in New Eden by activating an Abyssal Filament, which can be purchased on the market or found in exploration sites. On entry, players will need to travel and fight their way through pockets of Abyssal Deadspace tenuously linked together in chains by Abyssal Conduits that are constantly opening and closing, with each pocket taking players around 20 minutes to complete. These highly variable environments are fraught with new and visually striking obstacles for players to navigate such as caustic clouds and megastructures. Players will need to adapt their tactics on the fly to survive, requiring fast thinking and improvisation.
Players will also find a number of UI and UX improvements that will have a direct impact on Planetary Interaction. The goal is to make planetary installations "easier to maintain and give guidance on how to use various elements of planetary interaction, guiding players through setup with more detail".
