EVE Online is an MMO game set in a world of galactic proportions, governed by a hyper-capitalistic economy where space flight is the path to all commerce, communication, and conflict.

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.

EVE Online developer CCP Games announced a collaboration with miniature sculpting studio/publisher Titan Forge, to create a board game adaptation of the renowned spaceship MMO.

The EVE Online board game welcomes fans and newcomers, bringing New Eden’s signature space exploration, player-driven narratives, and strategic warfare to tabletops.

The Kickstarter pre-launch page for the EVE Online board game is now live for fans to sign up and follow the project’s progress until the campaign kicks off in Q4 2023 following demos at EVE Fanfest.

EVE Online’s player-driven narrative, intricate economy, and stunning visuals are represented in this board game, offering a blend of classic 4X strategy elements and Euro-game mechanics. Players command a diverse fleet of starships, each meticulously crafted by Titan Forge, and delve into the intricacies of interstellar politics, resource management, and tactical combat. The game will be playable for the first time at EVE Fanfest 2023, September 21-23, in Reykjavik, Iceland.

“As a studio dedicated to crafting high-quality board games that ignite imaginations, EVE Online’s player-driven world is the perfect fit to make the ultimate tabletop sandbox. This project is unlike anything we’ve ever made and fuels Titan Forge’s commitment to delivering an authentic and captivating experience for EVE fans and board game enthusiasts alike,” said Roman Łakomiak, the founder of Titan Forge. “Our partnership with CCP empowers us to make a board game in an iconic universe that transcends both physical and digital mediums, standing as a testament to EVE Online’s epic legacy.”

“With its player-driven gameplay and complex virtual economy, EVE Online lends itself organically to a compelling board game experience,” said Grant Tasker, EVE Online’s Brand Director at CCP Games. “As we celebrate two decades of EVE Online, Titan Forge understands New Eden’s enduring legacy and is equipped to bring our iconic spaceship MMO to a different medium while maintaining its signature elements.”
CCP Games is celebrating EVE Online’s 20th anniversary throughout 2023. Set 21,000 years from now in the star cluster of New Eden, EVE Online is known for its dynamic and immersive virtual world. The game offers a vast sci-fi sandbox environment where players are free to explore, trade, engage in epic battles, and shape the destiny of the galaxy.
