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 revealed EVE Online: Legion, the next expansion for EVE Online, launching on May 27, 2025. 

Legion sets the stage for new beginnings, bold allegiances, and powerful new ways to collaborate as players carve their place among the stars.

In a time when fresh conflict brews and old alliances fracture, New Eden’s corporations must evolve. Leaders have been empowered with new capabilities to recruit, organize, and stand apart. The Legion expansion introduces Freelance Jobs, a new system that enables capsuleers to engage with player-run corporations on their own terms and make their mark in New Eden. From day one, they can choose their path by accepting player-created jobs - whether transporting critical supplies, diving into combat, or masterminding industrial operations. Each task becomes a step toward finding purpose in a corporation, building reputation, and taking part in the infamous, player-driven wars that have defined EVE for over two decades.

“With Legion, we’re opening a direct path to joining the fight in gaming’s largest war: the record-breaking space-spanning conflicts that can only be found in EVE Online. Freelance Jobs give anyone, regardless of experience, the power to fleet up, earn rewards, and shape the future of New Eden,” said Bergur Finnbogason, EVE Online’s Creative Director.

Two fearsome warships are poised to redefine the battlefield. The Babaroga, a cutting-edge Triglavian Tech II marauder, channels devastating entropic disintegrators and activates a bastion module that delivers game-changing subcapital DPS: perfect for those who dominate through precision and power. Meanwhile, the Sarathiel, a fierce and agile Angel Cartel dreadnought, rains down long-range capital-class destruction with massive bonuses to projectile damage and fall-off. The only dreadnought capable of using a Capital Micro Jump Drive in siege mode, the Sarathiel is a true terror in fast-moving frontline warfare.

“Step up, right now is the time to assume your role as a leader and take command in EVE. With Freelance Jobs and fresh blood entering the battlefield, the power to expand your influence and define your legacy has never been greater. Unleash the might of two new formidable warships to break open the frontlines and seize control,” said Snorri Árnason, EVE Online’s Game Director.

As fresh blood flows into New Eden, the ability to manage and develop nullsec space through the Equinox Sovereignty Suite evolves with greater control, new exploration opportunities, and strategic flexibility. Alliances can now expand and entrench their influence in more nuanced ways - fortifying systems, exploiting resources, and shaping the future borders of power. The new Corporation Palette allows players to unify their visual identity and fly under shared colors - projecting influence across regions as the battlefield reshapes around them.

Shaped in collaboration with the Council of Stellar Management, Legion arrives with sweeping balance changes to cruisers and capital ships, alongside an overhauled map experience. Omega clones now gain even more Skill Points through the AIR Career Program, helping pilots evolve faster than ever.

Also announced today was Nemesis, the final opportunity for players to deploy into planet-side combat before MMOFPS EVE Vanguard enters Steam Early Access and expands the shared EVE Universe in Summer 2026. The public access event will start on 16 September.

More details will be announced soon
