Hail Vanguard, 

The battle has begun, and it is time to put boots on the ground. As in previous months, countless warclones are flooding the planetside battlegrounds of New Eden, impacting corruption, shooting devs and each other in the face, and forging the future of the new sandbox shooter. Now, get ready to take it up a notch.  

As Founders, you will get to try out an early mining laser prototype that will add depth and complexity to the gameplay, get your hands on a sleek new warclone suit, and complete new contracts that offer a choice between contributing to corruption or suppression, deepening the connection to EVE Online. Further details on the latest changes and additions can be found here.

Greetings Vanguard, 

In the past few months, legions of warclones have gone boots-on-the-ground to try out EVE Vanguard, the sci-fi sandbox FPS set in New Eden, thereby helping to forge the future of the broader EVE Universe. Soon, the doors will open once more, allowing valiant warclones to try out a new mining prototype, a new warclone suit, contribute to suppression in the system, and much more. The upcoming First Strike playtest kicks off at 12:00 UTC on 21 March and runs until 12:00 UTC on 25 March, and is open to all Omega players as a part of Founders’ Access. 

 BUILDING THE NEW BATTLEFIELD 

As EVE Vanguard continues to evolve, the community’s feedback following each First Strike playtest leads to subtle yet impactful enhancements. The latest build introduces a new mining laser prototype, bringing a strategic layer to resource gathering, essential for survival and accomplishing contract objectives. An early version of a mining laser will be included in players’ default inventory, a...

Competitive capsuleers, 

Last weekend, the ensuing stages of the Anger Games were made public! With the sign-ups closed for the next community tournament, the organizers tallied the team rosters and gave the teams a matchmaking ranking, and brackets were drawn. The tournament competitors will undergo a grueling series of group stages (and a small path to redemption arc) before the remaining teams clash in a small double-elimination tournament. With a whopping 51 teams registered to participate and potentially a roster of 30 pilots per team, we will surely see a vast selection of tournament rookies and veterans battle it out for the top spots.

Date Reminders! 

The tournament will be broadcast live on the CCP Twitch channel. With over 100 matches to play out, there is also a secondary channel covering matches without commentary. The first match is set to start at 17:00 UTC on 13 April, continuing with the same start time on 14 April, and then for the next two weekends on 20, 21, 27, and...

Since December, monthly First Strike events have seen legions of warclones take to the battlefield in EVE Vanguard, shaping the development of this new sci-fi sandbox shooter through their participation and feedback, and forging the future of planetside combat in New Eden. It has become increasingly clear that the Vanguard are here to stay, and their impact will only increase. The question is, what will the rest of New Eden do?

Soon, the doors will open once more, introducing a mining laser prototype which will add another layer of complexity to gameplay, a sleek new combat suit, and new contracts that give Vanguard mercenaries a choice between corruption and suppression, deepening its connection to EVE Online.

Not only will you get the chance to try out and impact new features early in development, but you can also earn fantastic rewards in EVE Online by proving your mettle on the battlefield. These include the Corax and Osprey Navy Issue Arkombine Arisen SKINs, as well as PLEX.
