19 October 2018 – Reykjavik, Iceland – In the upcoming update for EVE Online - CCP's in-depth and uniquely player-driven spaceship MMO game - players will be able to team up and delve into the dangerous and isolated areas of New Eden known as Abyssal Deadspace in new and exciting ways. In addition, players will be given access to new ships, a new navigation structures and the introduction of the Activity Tracker.
As revealed at EVE Vegas 2018, the newly expanded version of Abyssal Deadspace now allows for cooperative gameplay, with players able to bring two other pilots into the fray. Choose from any combination of three frigates to fight new NPCs, scavenge materials and earn valuable rewards together. Difficulty tiers have been adjusted to accommodate the increase in players, making use of all available NPC factions found within the Abyss. As ever, make sure to avoid venturing away from stable pockets of space for too long… or risk being destroyed.
As part of the current Abyssal Deadspace experience, pilots who make it to the end of their encounter now have the option to fight against others who have achieved likewise. This 1v1 PvP encounter is the first of its kind for the Abyss. For both cooperative and solo experiences, three new Triglavian ships can also be encountered – the Triglavian Destroyer, Battlecruiser and Cruiser.
EVE Online also receives two additional enhancements. First, the Upwell Navigation Structures, will allow ships to travel between two points in space that are less than five light years apart. Second, a brand-new Activity Tracker will help players navigate through the various activities available and showcase the various diversification and specialization options open to them.
Paul Elsy, EVE Online’s Senior Community Manager said, “The winter update for EVE Online puts even more tools in the hands of our pilots, allowing them to truly become masters of their own domain. With the arrival of Upwell Navigation Structures, pilots will be able to dominate and control their claimed territories like never before and the new activity tracker will allow them to record their journey in New Eden, charting their accomplishments along the way.”
