EVE Online 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.

Today, CCP Games shared a 12-month content roadmap for EVE Online, giving players a look at what is in store for the spacefaring MMO in 2024.

Pilots can look forward to two astronomic EVE Online content expansions, the first of which will unlock the ability to capitalize on new resources in null security systems, design player-owned ship SKINs, experience enhanced Corporation Projects, and much more. CCP Games will also deploy a new map for EVE Vanguard in 2024, enabling Founders’ Access users the opportunity to explore uncharted territory.

“EVE Online continues to grow and thrive thanks to our dedicated community of capsuleers. 2024 promises to unveil never-before-seen frontiers for our pilots to pioneer,” said Snorri Árnason, Game Director for EVE Online. “Our players’ journeys into uncharted territories will echo across the stars and battlegrounds of New Eden. I speak on behalf of the entire EVE Online development team in saying that we can’t wait for our pilots to experience all we have in the pipeline to further evolve the EVE Universe.”

“This year, our focus is to expand the core foundations of EVE Online – conflict, identity, and community,” said Bergur Finnbogason, Creative Director for EVE Online. “With two expansions jam-packed with fresh features and mechanics, players can look forward to more options for personal expression, fortifying community ties, and collaborating with fellow EVE players to further shape New Eden.”

The first content expansion for 2024 will empower players to customize sovereign space through new technology, features, and mechanics. The expansion will also introduce ship customization via player-designed SKINs, building upon the SKINR system from the EVE Online: Viridian expansion. Pilots will have the opportunity to share their SKIN designs and to sell their custom-manufactured SKINs for PLEX. Additionally, Corporation Projects will be further elevated to a central role in corporate life within New Eden, introducing more diversified tasks, customizable goals, and deeper connections to ongoing events and the economy. Corporations will also be able to create tasks for non-members, providing a crucial recruitment avenue and opportunities for players to bolster confidence and earnings.

The expansion will also introduce a new map for EVE Vanguard, EVE Online’s integrated first-person shooter module currently in early development. The map will allow players to explore uncharted planetary surfaces and delve into industry-related gameplay, establishing the start of a symbiotic relationship between spacefaring and ground-based actions that promise to have far-reaching impacts on New Eden in the future.

Further information on EVE Vanguard’s six-month roadmap for the start of its Founders Access can be found here.

EVE Online’s first expansion will launch in Q2 2024; the second expansion will further build on the themes of conflict, identity, and community, with full details to follow later in the year.

Also this month, CCP Games is celebrating the 10th anniversary of The Bloodbath of B-R5RB, the monumental clash that secured a spot in history as one of the most costly video game battles ever recorded. The 2014 battle was one of gaming's largest and most expensive conflicts, earning a permanent, in-game monument named "The Titanomachy.” 

Bloodbath of B-R5RB by the numbers:

• 576 capital ships destroyed 
• 75 Titans destroyed, the largest ships available to players
• 7,548 players participated
