Eve: Fractured Skies Is Live Today

[7MMO]

Also Vanguard 24/7 access.


The folks at Fenris Creations are having a busy week this week.

Over on the Eve Online side, fans of the long running space MMO will be happy (hopefully) to hear that the next big expansion is out today. Fractured Skies introduces four new military campaigns for players to contribute to regardless of their faction enlistment. Rewards for taking part in the campaigns includes ISK, equipment, and more and in January the campaigns will play out in a big factional war.

“Fractured Skies marks a new chapter for Factional Warfare in EVE Online,” said Snorri Árnason, Executive Producer of EVE Online and EVE Vanguard. “Every campaign completed, fleet assembled and advantage earned will help shape the coming conflict. From January’s four-empire showdown to Conquests, we’re building towards battles with definitive winners and lasting consequences. Bringing Vanguard into the fight builds on a vision we’ve pursued since DUST 514, taking us another step towards a truly interconnected New Eden, where wars are fought on the planets below and among the stars above, and every player can help decide their outcome.”

Further on the docket in February 2027 the game will host seasonal factional warfare with definitive winners and lowsec sieges. Should be a lot of fun. Players in Eve Vanguard will be able to take part in contracts to assist their faction’s campaigns.

Obligatory trailer.


Meanwhile Eve Vanguard is finally opening up that 24/7 alpha access we talked about a few weeks ago.

“For the first time, EVE Vanguard is yours to explore whenever you want,” said Scott Davis, Game Director for EVE Vanguard. “No more waiting for the next playtest. Drop into New Eden every night, build your arsenal, develop your Warclone and tell us what’s working and what isn’t. This is a huge milestone for us, but we’re really only just getting started. We’re building something ambitious, and Founders can get in on the ground floor, make their mark and help shape the game’s future as we push towards Early Access.”

Check it out. Also obligatory trailer.
