- Dynamic, in-game music that adapts to the unfolding narratives of corruption and suppression.
- Quality of Life improvements for Corporation Projects.
- …and more!
More information about EVE Online’s latest patch can be found in the official news item here.
With the release of the Havoc expansion, EVE Online is powering into its third decade of continuous operation and boasts an increase in CCU of over 30% since the launch of last year’s Uprising expansion.
Following the launch of EVE Online: Havoc last week, capsuleers have:
- Enlisted with pirate factions and have successfully spread corruption, altering the map of New Eden in both lowsec space and highsec space.
- Acquired SKINs designed by a player for the first time ever in the game.
- Finally been able to get stuck into the new Insurgency sites such as the Mining Ambush, whose design is inspired by player behavior. Depending on how they side, players can save an ORE Rorqual ship, ransom it for bounty… or take a more nefarious option of ransoming the ORE Rorqual and destroying it anyway.
Assets for EVE Vanguard are here, and assets for EVE Online: Havoc are here.
