When the EVE Vanguard event goes live, players will have the chance to pick their Vanguard character profile via the EVE launcher. The shooter can be played by yourself or with your friends in a squad as you battle in a PvPvE environment. What you do in the game can affect New Eden, and it will be connected to EVE Online from day one.

This isn’t the first shooter set in the EVE Online universe. Dust 514 was a free-to-play FPS from developer CCP Shanghai for the PlayStation 3. It was set in New Eden and things you did in the game could affect EVE Online. The game was shut down in 2016. CCP Games also attempted another FPS with Project Legion and Project Nova, with both never getting a release.

In other news, EVE Online will be getting a free patch, which comes after the release of the Havoc expansion last week. Here are the highlights:

• Lifted restrictions on EverMark trading, reinstating players’ in-game transaction freedoms
• Dynamic, in-game music that adapts to the unfolding narratives of corruption and suppression.
• Quality of Life improvements for Corporation Projects.

The Eve Online board game aims to bring all the features that make the space MMORPG interesting including commanding a fleet of starships (made by Titan Forge), 4X strategy elements and Euro-game mechanics. Prepare for interstellar politics, resource management, and tactical combat as you play with your friends.

Guests attending EVE Fanfest 2023 will have the chance to play the board game first when the event returns to Reykjavik, Iceland, on September 21-23.

“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.”
