CCP Games held the first day of its Eve Fanfest event and announced several new projects and updates coming to the Eve universe, including a new FPS module and content expansions for Eve Online. Several of these updates are rolling out within the next year, with the first content expansion coming in November.
Eve Online’s content expansion, called Havoc, rolls out on November 14. It introduces a new star system called Zarzakh, which is infested with pirates. Eve’s Capsuleers will be able to choose between defending the establishment — New Eden’s empires — or joining the pirates in sewing chaos across the system. CCP also announced Eve Vanguard, an FPS module for Eve Online the studio is developing in Unreal Engine 5. CCP will hold the first public test for Vanguard later this year.
The company also revealed Phase Four of its Project Discovery, a citizen science program where Eve Online players work with real scientists on datasets. In the third phase, users analyzed data produced by flow cytometers as part of research into COVID-19. In Phase Four, this research expands to research into critical immune system diseases, such as cancer. The research team is also making Project Discovery’s latest dataset publicly available.
Another announcement was the upcoming rollout of Eve Galaxy Conquest, a mobile 4X strategy game developed by CCP Shanghai. Players work together in teams to battle across four imperial factions, piloting several of Eve Online’s distinctive ships. The game soft launches in certain regions on iOS and Android sometime later this year, with CCP planning a global rollout in 2024.

Apple launched the iPhone 15 Pro model last year with an all-new A17 Pro chip. The chip possesses phenomenal processing power that allows it to run high-end games like Resident Evil Village on an external monitor. The company is working with game developers to bring popular titles to the platform to take better advantage of the A17 Pro chip. It appears that Samsung has also stepped into the mobile gaming category with some exclusive titles underway.
Early on in my Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 playthrough, I had to make a huge decision: should I install the brain implant that lets me trigger bullet time whenever I want if it means my hacking days are over?

As someone who fancies themselves a pirate in EVE Online, I was pretty stoked when I first heard about the changes and gameplay features coming to Havoc, the next expansion for the space-faring MMO. Pirate factions such as the Angel Cartel and Guristas are prominent NPC groups in New Eden, with ships from Angel Cartel making up some of my favorites in the MMO — the Machariel especially.
At EVE Fanfest last week, I sat down with EVE Online game director Snorri Árnason for a wide-ranging chat about where the one-of-a-kind sandbox space MMO has been in recent years and where it's going. We talked about big things like Dust 514 and EVE Vanguard, with Árnason lamenting that if the former had been on PC «it would literally still be alive», but a smaller comment that also struck me as interesting was one in which Árnason expresses ambition to have football-style analysis of EVE's great battles.

It's happening again. As sure as Square Enix overestimating their sales projections, as sure as John Riccitiello pissing off every available customer, EVE Online developers CCP will try to make a first-person shooter set in the same universe.
As I walked into the main hall at EVE Fanfest 2023, prepped for the keynote announcements, the giant screen in the Laugardalshöll Arena was tuned into the Twitch stream of the MMO. In front of me was the giant Jovian stargate, tiny blips representing capsuleers eager to see what was happening in orbit around the structure.
