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.

EVE Vanguard is an immersive online sandbox FPS module set in the epic sci-fi universe of EVE Online, 21,000 years in the far future. In this dynamic and evolving shooter, technologically immortal warclones descend onto planets to complete hazardous contracts in dangerous combat zones, mastering adaptive weaponry and overcoming emergent threats to leave their mark in the greater war taking place among the stars of New Eden.

In EVE Vanguard, players become elite mercenaries whose ground operations directly influence the massive player-driven conflicts taking place in space above. With a vision for no server resets and true persistence at launch, every deployment, resource gathered, and battle fought will contribute to the ever-evolving narrative of New Eden.

In squads or solo, players will deploy onto the surface of planets wracked with turmoil and littered with opportunity. To advance their clone, suit and equipment, players will need to complete missions, acquire resources and engage in tactical combat with rival Vanguard squads as well as hostile forces, each with their own agenda. EVE Vanguard will be connected to EVE Online from day one, starting with Vanguard players being able to impact EVE Online through Frontline Corruption. Over time, new gameplay, content and interoperability with EVE Online will be added, deepening the immersion for players and the living universe of New Eden.

CCP Games announced a public limited-time access event for EVE Vanguard. From November 28 to December 9, players can descend onto diverse planetary battlegrounds as technologically immortal warclones, engaging in intense ground combat that directly impacts the largest player-driven war in gaming history. To obtain an access code visit the EVE Vanguard Discord server.

In YC126.11.28: Groundbreak, players will join live insurgencies that reach from ground to orbit, shaping the future of New Eden. With every deployment, you have the chance to align with a faction of your choice and dive into intense 9v9 battles, capturing artillery cannons to bombard enemy fleets from the surface. Each victory strengthens your side's grip on planetary zones in EVE Online, driving opposition forces out of contested airspace and having real-time impact on the ongoing war in the cluster.

"What began as a vision for a sandbox FPS has evolved into something far more ambitious," said Bergur Finnbogason, Creative Director for EVE Vanguard. "EVE Vanguard will grow into a platform where players can experience unlimited possibilities in a persistent universe. By connecting ground combat with the vast conflicts of New Eden, we're creating more than just a lobby shooter– we're building an ecosystem where every player's story becomes part of a greater narrative. This is just the beginning of our journey to create the ultimate connected FPS experience."
