EVE Vanguard

Online is all about the ships, but Vanguard is about taking on new challenges with your boots on the ground. Built on Unreal Engine 5, players will become clones called Vanguards, looking to fight to free their consciousness on the planets of New Eden, scavenging downed ships for resources.

Here, you will find both player versus player and player versus environment challenges as you fight your way to complete missions.

Speaking to EVE Vanguard Art Director Neil Kaminsky, I wanted to know what CCP Games expected from current EVE Online players and new players to the EVE universe.

WOLFENSTEIN 3D HELPED BIRTH THE FPS GENRE

CCP doesn’t have all of the plans ready to share just yet, but from what we can gather, though EVE Vanguard is meant to be a module of EVE Online, however, it can be a standalone game. You won’t need to play Online to play Vanguard, and vice versa, but part of the charm is that you just might want to.

WOLFENSTEIN RPG The core gameplay is the same, but Wolfenstein’s story, style, and lore help to put the game over the top.

From the gameplay we saw, you will get missions in EVE Vanguard to search, collect, eliminate, etc. There were evacuation mechanics, but CCP says this will not be all we see. You can jump into EVE Vanguard solo or with a squad and take down other Vanguards to complete your mission.

EVE Vanguard looks to have a clean UI, with clear mission directives on the left and ammo and weapon details on the right. You’ll also notice crafting and equipment tabs. As you scavenge the land and crashed ships, you can craft new kinds of ammo (Kinetic Rounds and Energy Rounds shown in the preview), deployable shields, signal beacons, and more.

There is still so much unknown about EVE Vanguard, but for FPS players, especially those already invested in EVE Online, this could be an exciting new wait to experience EVE.

Not all the details about how the two games will connect have been revealed. What we do know is that Vanguard will directly impact the happenings of Online. There was talk about events in Online becoming things you can explore in Vanguard, shared resources between economies, and more.
