EVE is a community-driven massively multiplayer online (MMO) game, set in a world of galactic proportions. This online universe is governed by a hyper-capitalistic economy where space flight is the path to all commerce, communication, and conflict. Your mission is to establish yourself as a major competitor, trusted by your friends, feared by your enemies. To accomplish this, your principle tools -- apart from an impressive array of sophisticated equipment, customizable space ships and in-game corporations -- will be your natural business acumen, social skills, Machiavellian thinking and cunning combat strategies.

Set tens of thousands of years in the future, EVE Online is a breathtaking journey to the stars, to an immersive experience filled with adventure, riches, danger and glory. With nearly a quarter of a million subscribers worldwide inhabiting the same virtual universe, EVE features a vast player-run economy where your greatest asset is the starship, designed to accommodate your specific needs, skills and ambitions. EVE offers professions ranging from commodities trader to mercenary, industrial entrepreneur to pirate, mining engineer to battle fleet commander or any combination of these and much more. From brokering business deals to waging war, you will have access to a diverse array of sophisticated tools and interfaces to forge your own destiny in EVE.

CCP Games today announced that EVE Fanfest will return to Reykjavík, Iceland on May 5 - 8, 2022. The first in-person EVE convention to take place since the EVE Invasion World Tour in 2019, EVE Fanfest 2022 is going back to its roots and will be held at the iconic Laugardalshöll Sport Center, home to classic Fanfests as well as this year’s League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational and Championship. Early Bird tickets are available now at a discounted price of $150 USD until sold out. Afterward, standard tickets will be available for $295 USD.

Since 2004, EVE Fanfest has served as a gathering place for EVE Online players to put faces to the names of peers, rivals, and the EVE team that has kept New Eden running for over 18 years. In 2022, CCP is bringing together players from around the world to Reykjavík once more for an epic event offering keynote presentations, developer panels, legendary parties, and more in celebration of the vast spaceship MMO enjoyed by over 24 million players since launch.

CCP is working with local authorities and taking COVID-19 safety measures for EVE Fanfest 2022. To attend the event, proof of vaccination is required. CCP is actively monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and will provide further guidance according to Iceland’s national guidelines as the event grows closer.

“Fanfest is finally back in our home country, and we are taking this opportunity to reunite with our community and celebrate EVE Online better than ever before,” said Bergur Finnbogason, EVE Online’s Creative Director. “It has been almost two years since the end of the Invasion World Tour. Meeting in person after all this time will be a completely different and incredible experience. As vaccinations roll out here in Iceland and abroad, we look forward to seeing our community safely in one place again. At last, the gate is green!”

EVE Fanfest 2022 will include:

• Presentations, roundtables, networking opportunities, ceremonies, and a special tournament from CCP
• Reykjavik’s largest pub crawl and cocktail events to meet virtual friends and foes
• Alliance/Corporation dinners for fleet feasts
• The legendary party at the top of the world
• A guest appearance by YouTube celebrity Scott Manley
