Reykjavik, October 19, 2018 - CCP Games is excited to formally unveil EVE Echoes, previously known as EVE: Project Galaxy, a brand-new game set in an alternate universe of New Eden. Developed by NetEase Games in conjunction with CCP Games, EVE Echoes will arrive on iOS and Android in 2019.
Authentic to the EVE universe that players know and love, EVE Echoes will let players venture deep into space, to write not only their own history, but that of the galaxy itself. Whether engaging in interstellar combat, trade, or exploration, as well as many other activities across thousands of planetary systems, players will be free to experience hallmark EVE gameplay on their preferred mobile device.
“Working with NetEase, one of the world’s leaders in mobile gaming on our most treasured IP, EVE Online, was something I have been very excited about ever since our discussions started,” said Hilmar Veigar Pétursson, CEO, CCP Games. “I believe mobile is the obvious next step to bring a refined version of our legendary PC experience to an even bigger audience.”
The game will utilize NetEase Games’ proprietary graphics engine, NeoX, in combination with CCP’s game design to realize stunning starry skies, boundless star-fields, majestic planets and unpredictable asteroid belts at unprecedented graphical detail on mobile devices.
“We’re huge fans of EVE Online and when the opportunity arose to challenge ourselves and create something as ambitious as EVE Online but for mobile devices, we were thrilled,” said Frank Xiang, General Manager of Marketing, NetEase. “EVE Echoes is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on mobile devices today and with our expertise in mobile game development, we’re confident that fans of the franchise and mobile games in general will be very happy with the final result.”
In addition to retaining EVE’s signature gameplay mechanics, EVE Echoes will also utilize its social system as part of its overall experience. Players can join and lead corporations, align with others to form even-stronger coalitions, whilst capturing opposing rivals’ territories through enormous fleet battles. A deep and realistic social system is also being developed which will provide players with an interconnected futuristic interstellar lifestyle.
