EVE Fanfest 2014 is just around the corner, running from May 1-3 in Reykjavik, Iceland. Those who can't make the trip can stay tuned to the action with CCP's livestreaming options!

EVE Online's annual Fanfest will return with the celebrations kicking off from May 1-3 in Reykjavik, Iceland. Join the party on the top of the world and check out EVE's summer expansion, some DUST 514 action and details about EVE: Valkrie and the Oculus Rift.

CCP Games update for EVE Online, Rubicon 1.1, will be released Tuesday, January 28th. Downtime for the deployment of this release will begin at 11:00 UTC and will be completed by 11:40 UTC.

Rubicon 1.1 brings a whole host of new deployable structures, as well as the new Sisters of EVE battleship, capital ship wrecks, station graphical updates, a number of UI changes and optimizations, ship balancing, overheat balancing and a number of other changes! Be sure to check your overview settings in game to make sure they include the new deployable structures, in order to avoid any confusion during combat.

The full patch notes can be found on the EVE community website.

Editor's Note: CCP has just published a blog post on the conflict below.

Monday, one day before the launch of Rubicon 1.1, a massive battle was fought in the B-R5RB system where everything—including over five dozen Titans—was fair game!

CCP Games has published a new In Development trailer for EVE Online game's update Rubicon 1.1, set to launch on January 28. Rubicon 1.1 introduces exciting new gameplay, expanding guerilla warfare options and building on the mobile structure foundations laid with the expansion's release.

The CCP Guard will bring you a sneak peek at what Rubicon 1.1 has in store for EVE players. You'll also be able to find more details regarding the upcoming features on the Dev Blogs section.

With a 1.2GB patch, you'll be ready to play CCP Games' newest EVE Online expansion Rubicon. Beginning the "next ten years" of EVE Online, Rubicon rushes in a new era of expanded player control. There are tons of changes, ranging from new ships to major tweaks – even one that affects every ship's warp speed. Make sure you check out all the features or even skim the patch notes.

CCP Games' cinematics for EVE Online are always a sight to behold. Equal parts beautiful and informative, their expansion trailers really set the tone and subtly summarize the new content.
The latest trailer explores the Rubicon expansion, arriving in only four days on November 19th. This expansion, the 20th in EVE’s 10 year history, sets the stage for the beginning of greater Capsuleer (player) control over the known universe and beyond.

Watch the trailer below in 1080p and get hyped.

EVE Vegas: the largest fan-organized EVE Online gathering of the year, and a great opportunity to talk one-on-one with the developers from CCP Games. As a result, I had a chance to interview David Reid, the man whose decisions shape our perception of gaming's most enigmatic journey.

Today's chat, part two of two, mostly examines the link between CCP's games in the EVE Universe.
We also answer a few miscellaneous questions along the way. Once again, let's dive right in!

EVE Vegas: the largest fan-organized EVE Online gathering of the year, and a great opportunity to talk one-on-one with the developers from CCP Games. As a result, I had a chance to interview David Reid, the man whose decisions shape our perception of gaming's most enigmatic journey.

Today's chat, part one of two, narrows in on his behind-the-scenes look at marketing such a complex game. We also talk extensively about current events, including EVE: The Second Decade: Collector's Edition and the upcoming Rubicon expansion. Even if you don't play EVE Online – as I didn't, prior to this event – the discussion is still fascinating for anyone interested in the games industry as a whole.

Without further ado, let's begin!
 

Earlier today CCP announced the full EVE Vegas 2013 schedule. Saturday, October 19 and Sunday, October 20 have several panels, local chats and even PvP arenas. Can't attend in person? Don't worry, there's a live stream for that.
