Theme 8 (part 1/3)
FUTURE OF EVE VANGUARD
Introduction
Five years is a long time. Nothing can ever stay perfectly solid for five years without changing somewhat and this even truer for video games and video game development. In September 2023, at EVE Fanfest just over one year ago, we announced EVE Vanguard to the world. Alongside some live game play, we talked about what EVE Vanguard was right there and then, what we wanted it to be, and what we wanted it to grow into in the future. There is still a lot in what we talked about then that is still true now in what we want EVE Vanguard to become, but even in this short year between then and now, where we are about to release only our second ever major feature update to EVE Vanguard, we have learned so much, grown as a team, and gained confidence in what we want EVE Vanguard to become.
So… with all that was demonstrated in 2023 and what we’ve learned along the way since – what does EVE Vanguard look like five years from now?
What is EVE Vanguard
EVE Vanguard is an MMO FPS. It is an FPS (first person shooter) through how the players interact with the world, through a more human lens, and with a gun in their hands. It is an FPS for players who want a more complex, deeper, and connected experience. It is an FPS that caters to many different play styles that rewards players for preparation, decision making, and systems mastery. It is an MMO for players who want to have a lasting impact on the game play environment, across an expansive universe, a connected universe of over a million players already playing, warring, and collaborating within it. It is an MMO for players who don’t just play one way, who don’t just want one single experience repeatedly with just new content added. This is a game for players who want lasting impact, a player-driven ecosystem, and a progression and economy that doesn’t reset so your identity and actions live on!
EVE Vanguard is an MMO FPS that has the playgrounds, tools, and experiences for players to create their own stories, have that impact in a single, vast, shared universe, and one day be part of the record-breaking tales that got them excited to be a part of this universe in the first place.
