EVE Online’s set to get a little prettier later this year, when developer CCP adds some high definition textures to the space MMO.
The Icelandic firm announced the graphical upgrade during a keynote speech at this year’s EVE Online FanFest 2015, where they also showed off space dog-fighting spin-off EVE: Valkyrie.
EVE Online’s new client launcher will launch on March 24, and will contain an option for players to download these sharper textures – if you’re PC isn’t up to scratch or your not keen on using up your hard drive space, you can stick to the classic look.
CCP also explained that the new launcher will stream assets as required, rather than downloading all of them at once before you can play. This means new players won’t have nearly as much time to wait before jumping into the game.
You can keep up with the latest changes to the ongoing space opera over on the new EVE Updates website.
