Eve Odyssey

EVE: Frontier, a highly anticipated space-based massively multiplayer online game, has announced a major partnership with the Ethereum blockchain. The game, developed by CCP Games, will offer a unique trial experience to players, allowing them to earn real-world rewards and have a direct impact on the game's development.

According to a press release, EVE: Frontier will be a standalone game set in the EVE Online universe, but with a fresh start and a new storyline. The game will feature a unique blockchain-based economy, where players can earn Ethereum-based tokens, called "Frontier Tokens," for their in-game achievements.

The trial experience will be available to players starting from April 2023 and will last for six months. During this period, players will be able to participate in various activities, such as exploration, mining, and combat, and earn Frontier Tokens for their efforts. These tokens can then be redeemed for real-world rewards, including gift cards, merchandise, and even cryptocurrency.

But that's not all. The partnership with Ethereum will also allow players to have a direct impact on the game's development. Players will be able to vote on in-game decisions, such as the creation of new ships, modules, and game mechanics, using their Frontier Tokens. The game's developers will then take these suggestions into account when creating new content for the game.

"We're thrilled to announce our partnership with Ethereum and the launch of EVE: Frontier," said CCP Games' CEO, Hilmar Veigar Pétursson. "This is a game-changer for the EVE Online community, and we can't wait to see what our players will achieve with this new trial experience."

The partnership marks a significant milestone for both EVE: Frontier and the Ethereum blockchain. It demonstrates the potential for blockchain technology to be used in gaming and the power of community engagement to shape the development of a game.

EVE: Frontier is set to launch in 2024, but players can get a head start by participating in the trial experience starting from April 2023.
