At EVE Fanfest 2025, CCP Games pulled back the curtain on one of their newest games, EVE Vanguard. Set in the EVE Online Universe, Vanguard is an MMOFPS—yes, that’s a mouthful—that will bring players to the surface of the planets in New Eden, armed with futuristic weapons, and missions that can affect the universe as a whole.

We first heard about EVE Vanguard at 2023’s Fanfest, only six months into official development. Since then, the game has done what all CCP games do: include the community in its development from the very beginning. At Fanfest, CGM was able to sit down with the Game Director on EVE Vanguard, Scott Davis, AKA CCP Collins, to chat about the newly introduced Bastions, what makes Vanguard special, and how its community has helped shape the MMOFPS we see today.

What do we know about EVE Vanguard that we didn’t know six months ago?

Scott Davis: We’re talking more confidently and backing up the confidence that we’re an MMOFPS. Up until... Read more

Last week, I attended EVE Fanfest 2025, and while in Iceland, I went hands-on with the latest build of EVE Vanguard. If you caught any of the keynotes, EVE Vanguard Creative Director Scott Davis has been the ultimate hype-man for the Vanguard, and beyond being one of the people behind the game, he is right to be excited. Though the game is still over a year away from early access, the small taste that I got has me itching to explore New Eden’s planets with my boots on the ground.

EVE Online is notoriously a near-impossible game to break into as a new player. The sheer size is intimidating, and though the EVE community is welcoming, the gameplay is not. While EVE Online is getting Freelance Jobs, which will make it a bit easier to integrate players into the universe, CCP Games is exploring new avenues to bring fresh takes on the universe. That’s where EVE Vanguard comes in, a new MMOFPS that brings players down to the surface of the planets of New Eden.
