CCP Games :
REYKJAVÍK, Iceland – November 19, 2024 – Today, CCP Games announced a public limited-time access event for EVE Vanguard, the in-development MMOFPS that directly connects to the legendary EVE Online Universe. 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.
EVE Vanguard will redefine the MMO FPS genre by offering a deep, persistent universe where player actions have lasting consequences. Set in the same universe as EVE Online, 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.
"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."
Forge Your Own Path: Choose your playstyle in a persistent universe where every action matters. Focus on combat, resource gathering, or strategic operations - all contributing to a single, shared universe. Take on diverse contracts including Contraband operations, Secure Salvage missions, and Mining Rights disputes in an ever-evolving environment.
Master the Warzone: Deploy to multiple planet types, each with unique environmental challenges and strategic opportunities. Participate in 9v9 insurgency battles between Pirate and Empire forces, controlling Orbital Cannons to influence territory control and resource availability across New Eden. Your victories and defeats permanently shape the battlefield landscape.
Build Your Arsenal: Collect Blueprint Fragments and acquire new equipment designs from the Blueprint Market. Scavenge resources during deployments to manufacture Weapon Chipsets and gear, creating a persistent progression system where every deployment strengthens your capabilities. All manufactured items and progress carry forward, enabling long-term character development.
YC126.11.28: Groundbreak, runs from November 28 to December 9, 2024. Access is also available for Omega subscribers. EVE Vanguard will enter Steam Early Access in 2025: Wishlist Now. Assets for EVE Vanguard can be found in the press kit.
