A new shooter and a cure for cancer - the 20th anniversary of EVE Online

The authors of the famous space simulator EVE Online from the company CCP Games gathered a festival of fans on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of their game, where even the President of Iceland Gvudni Jóhannnesson showed up. At this event were announced an add-on called Havoc and shooter Vanguard, which will partially repeat the principles of Escape from Tarkov, only in a sci-fi setting. Heroes will have to fight on the map in a first-person view, collect loot, and then evacuate at special points to save the contents of the inventory.

According to the developers, the Havok expansion for the space game will be released on November 14. In it, the inhabitants of New Eden will have another clash with the forces of Chaos, as well as a chance to join one of the pirate factions - Angel Cartel and Guristas. Whichever side you choose, the tasks of pirates are reduced to sowing discord on the collision lines of different fleets. Of course, with the update users will get access to ships - the announcement trailer just showed the Angel Cartel titan, but there will be smaller models as well. Also, the galaxy will be threatened by the invasion of military clones, which will be opposed in the shooter EVE Vanguard.

Other important announcements were made at the event. In particular, CCP Games employees promised to return the Alliance Tournament in 2024, and also reported on their charitable activities, which managed to raise 1.2 million U.S. dollars. Project Discovery, which uses distributed computing on a machine with more than 700,000 volunteers, is moving from studying COVID-19 to cancer research. The system is expected to be plugged into the problem as early as next year.
