One of the best features in Bethesda's latest open-world game, Starfield, is the incredibly robust shipbuilder. One dedicated player decided to blend universes, bringing EVE Online's iconic Rifter into their game.

EVE Online is coming off a successful Fanfest late last month, and the team at CCP Games have released a new Pulse video highlighting the ongoing activities in EVE leading up till next month's Havoc expansion.
Now set in the basement of Jita 4-4 thanks to the festivities of Fanfest itself, the Pulse detailing the ongoing Zarzakh Awakening event, the large galaxy-spanning event aimed at getting the station in the new region online ahead of Havoc's release next month. The event is complex — but then, most things in EVE tend to be — with players needing to explore wormholes and Drifter sites in order to acquire materials to build a construct to hand over to the Deathless faction in Zarzakh, EVE's new addition to New Eden. The reward? Pirate Faction LP that can be used to acquire the blueprints needed to build the new pirate ships launched last week.
It's a lot, but players have already started putting out guides to help those players who want to jump into Zarzakh eagerly and start to bring the station online or, more importantly — build the new ships to start churning out some ISK.
The Pulse also gave information on the Crimson Harvest event that EVE Online hosts yearly as part of its Halloween celebrations. This year, the event kicks off on the 5th of October and runs through November 6th across all parts of space, with the harder locations providing even more valuable rewards.
You can check out the Pulse video in the embed below. EVE Fanfest 2023 saw the gameplay reveal of the upcoming FPS module for EVE Online, EVE Vanguard, which will have a playtest for Omega players in December. This comes a month after EVE Online's second expansion of 2023, Havoc, releases in November, bringing chaos, pirates, and Angel Titans to New Eden.

EVE Online's next expansion, Havoc, launches next month, and the team at CCP Games is pulling the veil back on one of its major features, explaining how working with New Eden's pirate factions will work.
Turkish developer Vawraek Studios has released a bevy of information about their upcoming title The Quinfall throughout their social media over the past week. The information dump included a few choice screenshots, and some base class and subclass details that dive into their weaponry as well.
EVE Online developer CCP Games is ramping up the narrative heading into November's Havoc expansion, and the team breaks down the design process behind the new Zarzakh region and the Deathless Circle at the center of the expansion.
Naughty Dog, developers of Uncharted: Legacy Of Thieves Collection and The Last Of Us: Part 1, are cutting back on contract developers. According to a report on Kotaku, the studio is cutting contracts short for at least 25 developers, with most having worked in quality assurance.
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.
FSR 3, AMD’s framerate-roiding answer to DLSS 3 frame generation, is ready to roll in its first supporting games. Great! Except these are currently limited to tedious magic shooters Forspoken and Immortals of Aveum, which is less great.
Monetization in gaming is, at times, seemingly out of control. From feeling nickel and dimed at every turn in some free-to-play titles to companies charging for head-start access and beta testing, it feels like there is no limit to the ways a major game company will try to get us to crack open our wallets.
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.
EVE FanFest is celebrating 20 years of CCP's unique space MMO, and has given us our first look at new FPS module EVE Vanguard and the reveal of EVE's next expansion: Havoc, coming November 14. The clue's in the name. Following the successful overhaul of faction warfare in recent expansions, CCP has decided to mess with things in the only way EVE really knows how. More factions, more fighting, and more destruction.
