REYKJAVÍK, Iceland – September 12, 2024 – Today, CCP Games is excited to reveal EVE Frontier, a space survival game defined by freedom, challenge, and consequence. You awake from stasis as the last relic of humanity from a brighter age. Civilization has decayed in the ruin of its ambition; feral drone swarms scour its wastes, and survivors fight to gain control over its resources. In the shadow of the Trinary, who will you become?

In EVE Frontier, CCP Games is creating a deep player-driven sandbox for a new era. Cast into a cruel and brutal cosmos, you have been lost to time and lost to light. To survive, you will need to explore, exploit and expand in the face of perpetual annihilation. The Frontier is a shattered region of space, warped by the presence of supermassive black holes gravitationally bound in a macabre dance. Rogue AI infests its depths; corrupting and consuming the remnants of what still stands.

With all players on one single-shard server, death and opportunity lurk in equal measure. Awareness is power: your skill as a pilot and strategic choices determine the outcome of every encounter, whether you favor hit-and-run tactics, stealth, or all-out warfare. Exploit the Frontier's natural resources to upgrade your ship with vital technology and acquire new capabilities. A community-driven and dynamic economy allows you to create custom currencies, establish markets, and trade assets, services, and reputation in a truly open environment.

Rebuild civilization from its ashes by using Smart Assemblies, an open-ended platform, to construct and program infrastructure within space. Expand your influence through defenses, trading posts and multiple types of functionality, each imbued with a programmable layer that links the world of the Frontier to the real world outside of it. Smart Assemblies unlocks third-party development with a toolkit for creators to build beyond a virtual world.

“EVE Frontier redefines the survival genre by fusing intense space survival gameplay with the limitless emergent potential of a player-driven, persistent sandbox universe,” said CCP Games CEO, Hilmar Veigar Pétursson. “From exploiting space itself to shaping entire economies, every decision ripples across this dark and uncompromising expanse. We welcome you to join us in building this next step in our history; awake eternally.”

**zinkk.eth**: :D Lots of FUD from anti-crypto gamers in replies to their X post: https://x.com/CCPGames/status/1834234076879896578

Some interesting aspects about how they use blockchain:

Does EVE Frontier use blockchain technology?

Yes: players can edit aspects of the game world and server in real-time; giving the community the power to add their own functionality to the game through Smart Assemblies, a feature that lets players program infrastructure they deploy into space.

Smart Assemblies utilizes MUD, a framework for building on-chain applications: MUD | Framework and Redstone, a L2 blockchain designed for permissionless, open software: Redstone | Cost-effective chain for MUD apps, games, and worlds.

Combined with Carbon, these tools are at the foundation of our persistent and programmable game server at universe-scale: one server, one universe, evolving through players forever.

In addition, the economy of EVE Frontier is an open environment: all and any transactions are allowed, using in-game currency built on token standards.

These solutions are environmentally friendly: all technology used to develop and operate EVE Frontier has the same energy consumption as EVE Online’s infrastructure.
