Over the years, CCP Games have released a small number of ultimately short-lived spin-off games of their highly successful EVE Online sci-fi game. Most notably this includes Dust 514, a FPS spin-off that was released exclusively for the PlayStation 3 in 2013, before ultimately shuttering its doors in 2016. The company have now revealed that work is underway on EVE Galaxy Conquest, pitched as a “4X strategy mobile game” being developed by their Shanghai studio. The plans are for EVE Galaxy Conquest to be soft-launched in select regions on both iOS and Android platforms in Q3 2023, before receiving a full global release more than a year later in 2025.
According to CCP Games:
In EVE Galaxy Conquest, players must work as a team to battle opponents for interstellar supremacy, leading vast armadas representing one of the four mighty empires from EVE Online: the Caldari State, Gallente Federation, Amarr Empire, or Minmatar Republic. Featuring strategic 4X gameplay, players command EVE’s iconic ships and characters as they explore space, exploit resources, expand territory, and exterminate their enemies. EVE Galaxy Conquest empowers players to set their own goals, engage in diplomacy, work together on shared objectives, and orchestrate elaborate PvP battles, all in the palm of their hands. Maintaining EVE’s trademark characteristics, every action and decision players make in EVE Galaxy Conquest has consequences.
Commenting on this announcement CCP Shanghai’s brand director Michael Lee shared the following statement:
EVE Galaxy Conquest doesn’t merely adapt the iconic EVE Online experience for mobile gamers; we ventured into new territory by transforming the MMO into a compelling 4X strategy game. This expansion of the EVE universe brings our signature essence to a wider audience on accessible platforms. With CCP Shanghai at the helm—bringing our passion for EVE and remarkable talent— longtime fans and new players alike have much to anticipate from EVE Galaxy Conquest.
Furthermore, CCP Shanghai’s General Manager and Executive Producer, Bing Xi, also shared the following:
EVE Galaxy Conquest has truly been a labor of love for our team. As avid fans of EVE Online, we were inspired to capture what makes the MMO so exceptional and reimagine it within the 4X genre. We’re creating an experience that resonates with EVE veterans and opens the door for newcomers to explore and conquer New Eden in a way that’s perfectly suited for mobile platforms.
