EVE Vanguard: The MMOFPS That Prioritizes Your Time Set for Steam Early Access Next Summer

Sure thing! Here goes with the messy human touch:

So, here I am, diving into the whole buzz about CCP’s new FPS, EVE Vanguard. You know CCP, the masterminds behind EVE Online, right? This time they’re shaking things up with a shooter, aiming for something beyond what Destiny or Helldivers 2 have tried. It’s pretty ambitious, they want it to really mean something to the players. Heck, maybe even bring fresh life to the FPS scene. Fingers crossed.

Now, I know, I know — claims like these can feel like just hot air. You might wanna dig into all the deets on the game (there’s a link somewhere up top, I think). And oh, I’m gonna keep talking about this at EVE FanFest 2025. Anyway, they’re hyping it up big time, but hey, why not try it yourself and see? That’s what CCP’s saying, as they just dropped the bombshell: early access is set for Summer 2026, revealed during their FanFest keynote. Big news, right?

Oh, wait — here’s a thing I found weird — there’s some public event happening way earlier on September 16. If you’re itching to jump in, that’s your shot before everyone else on Early Access. Head to their Discord for the lowdown. Don’t ask me why, but there it is.

And then there’s the press release jargon: “MMOFPS, player-driven sandbox, rewards, blah blah.” I mean, sounds cool if you like crafting your quests and duking it out in chaos. What’s really exciting for me? It’s got smooth shooting and it’s more interconnected than other games. But I’m sworn to secrecy about more of it ’til some embargo times out. Just hang tight for more.

Dates, dates, and more dates! Funny thing, they don’t match what I squawked about earlier. Were we supposed to expect it in early access in 2025? Guess not! Now it’s Summer 2026. But does that mess up other plans? The console release was pegged for 2028. No idea. I’m chasing down CCP for some clarity this weekend.

For those eager beavers keeping track, Vanguard’s on its way, and you’ll get to judge it beside Marathon, Arc Raiders, and who knows what else. Dive in soon and see what it’s all about.
