As expected, CCP revealed the 20th expansion for their space combat MMO EVE Online, titled Rubicon.
The free expansion is due to be released on the 19th November, and will build on the successful Retribution and Odyssey expansions. Rubicon will completely hand over intergalactic power to the players, as the four factions will blur. Players will be able to build and tear down their own alliances within the framework.
”Rubicon continues where Odyssey left off with new exploration content and a versatile new line of faction ships that are perfect for navigating and infiltrating the nearly 8,000 solar systems of the EVE Universe,” explains CCP in the presser, ”In addition, the Marauder, Electronic Attack Frigate, Interceptor and Interdictor class hulls head back to the shipyards for re-engineering amongst other balancing changes. New certificate and ship identification systems will help novice players ease into one of the world’s most indisputably deep games and give veteran players a greater sense of what to accomplish next.”
The developer promises to reveal more information about Rubicon on the official site here. Gamers can also check out the dev blogs here.
