CCP Games, the studio behind the massively popular EVE Online, has a long history of attempting to create a successful first-person shooter set in the same universe. Despite previous failures, they are back at it again with their latest project, EVE Vanguard.
The roadmap for EVE Vanguard, while ambitious, seems to lack a clear direction. It includes plans for more economic links between the shooter and the MMO, weapon customization options, diverse environments, progression options, and expanded gameplay elements. However, the roadmap is more like a rough sketch on a napkin than a detailed plan.
EVE Vanguard is not CCP’s first attempt at creating a shooter set in the EVE universe. Previous projects such as Dust 514, Project Legion, and Project Nova have all failed to gain traction and were eventually scrapped. Will EVE Vanguard suffer the same fate?
One interesting aspect of EVE Vanguard is that CCP is positioning it as a module of EVE Online rather than a standalone game. This integration could potentially help in drawing players from the MMO to the shooter. Additionally, the PvPvE pitch of Vanguard sets it apart from previous projects.
While the future of EVE Vanguard remains uncertain, CCP Games seems determined to make it work this time around. With a new approach and a dedicated team behind it, there is hope that this project could finally succeed where others have failed.
EVE Vanguard represents CCP Games’ latest attempt at creating a successful FPS set in the EVE universe. While the roadmap may be vague and the history of failures is concerning, there is still potential for this project to be a hit. Only time will tell if EVE Vanguard will rise above its predecessors and carve out a place for itself in the gaming world.
