CCP Games Announces EVE Frontier: A New Blockchain Space Survival Game
CCP Games, the developer behind the popular game EVE Online, has recently unveiled details about its upcoming blockchain project. Previously known as Project Awakening, the game is now officially called EVE Frontier. Set in the EVE Online universe, EVE Frontier is a space survival game that offers a unique gameplay experience for players.
What is EVE Frontier?
EVE Frontier is a single-shard MMO, which means that it provides a massive sandbox environment where all players coexist and survive within a shared space. In the game, players awaken from stasis to find themselves in a future where civilization has crumbled. They must explore the Frontier, a vast and dangerous expanse of space, and utilize its resources to fuel and upgrade their ships. Along the way, players will face combat against rogue AI and have the opportunity to create their own custom currency and establish markets for trading goods, services, and reputation.
CCP Games’ Blockchain Gaming Ambitions
CCP Games is no stranger to the world of blockchain gaming. The company raised $40 million last year to support its blockchain gaming ambitions. EVE Frontier, or Project Awakening, has undergone multiple phases of testing, with the upcoming closed playtest being called Phase IV. According to CCP Games, the game features an open-ended platform called Smart Assemblies, which allows players to rebuild space and create structures with a programmable layer that connects the game world to the real world outside of it.
The Vision Behind EVE Frontier
Hilmar Veigar Pétursson, CEO of CCP Games, expressed his excitement about EVE Frontier, stating that it redefines the survival genre by combining intense space survival gameplay with the emergent potential of a player-driven, persistent sandbox universe. He emphasized how every decision players make in the game will have a ripple effect, shaping the entire economy and the world of EVE Frontier. Pétursson invites players to join the company in building this next step in their history and to awaken eternally in the game’s universe.
How to Participate in the Closed Playtest
If you’re interested in experiencing the world of EVE Frontier for yourself, CCP Games plans to launch a closed playtest in the near future. Players can sign up to participate on the Frontier website, where they can stay updated on the latest news and announcements about the game.
EVE Frontier promises to offer a unique and immersive gameplay experience for fans of both the EVE Online universe and the survival genre. With its integration of blockchain technology and player-driven mechanics, the game aims to create a dynamic and ever-evolving universe where players’ actions truly matter.
