REYKJAVIK, ICELAND--(Marketwire - May 22, 2012) - CCP Games today released EVE Online: Inferno, delivering the latest war-fueled update to its 9-straight-year growing playerbase. The 17th free expansion to EVE aims to create a fascinating upheaval in EVE's undivided "sandbox" universe, where entire economic, political and social ecosystems are completely run by players, their imaginations and their actions. The opportunities created by the expansion's new features and changes are tremendous for new and veteran pilots alike.
"If you've ever had dreams of piloting a spaceship into a full blown Sci-Fi war of thousands of ships, EVE is your game and Inferno your expansion. Or, if you've been skirting the edges of conflict for years, there are going to be some pretty compelling reasons to put your hull at risk," says Jon Lander, Senior Producer of EVE Online.
The recently released EVE Online: Inferno trailer illustrates the wealth of features, amazing new graphical effects and new support for mercenary gameplay in a universe full of explosions and profit.
