Last week at Fanfest 2023, a range of expert talks, in-depth sessions, and captivating panels unleashed a wave of new information and insight about EVE Online’s future evolution – as well as its past and present.

Whether you were able to make it in person, or couldn’t get to Reykjavík this time around, you can now catch up on the presentations from EVE Fanfest 2023 over at the official EVE YouTube channel.

While you are there, keep an eye out for the new episode of EVE Pulse, which will round up all the news, events and adventure from the latest in-person gathering of EVE’s pilot community.

Zarzakh has been waiting, and the gates have now been opened! This mysterious and ancient star system - accessed via the Jovian gates in the Turnur, Alsavoinon, H-PA29, and G-0Q86 solar systems - is controlled by the Deathless Circle, with their Angel Cartel and Guristas pirate allies granted sanctuary within. However, from deep inside the enormous Jovian station called “The Fulcrum” where he resides, The Deathless needs capsuleer assistance to bring this mammoth station’s power back up to full operating potential. 

Between now and 14 November, to aid the Deathless Circle in their endeavor, you will need raid specific wormhole sites to collect resources and return them to Zarzakh where you will be rewarded with pirate Loyalty Point tokens.



Manufacture coalesced elements from blueprints and individual elements that drop in Drifter Hive wormhole sites, and collect Element Containment Vessels from Sleeper relic sites in standard wormholes, plus Element Control Data from Sleeper data sites, then return one of each to The Fulcrum in Zarzakh in exchange for a single pirate LP token. These LP tokens can then be traded in at existing Angel Cartel and Guristas LP stores for blueprint copies of the new Angel Cartel Mekubal-class destroyer and Guristas Mamba-class destroyer. 



To get your hands on these ships before the Havoc expansion launches on 14 November, and to start helping The Deathless unlock the secrets of Zarzakh and inflict chaos on the frontlines, get exploring and raiding to collect those essential materials! 

t the recent EVE Fanfest, PC Gamer had the opportunity to sit down with CCP CEO Hilmar Veigar Pétursson, who since the company's founding has been something of a presiding spirit over EVE Online. Pétursson has helmed CCP through good times and bad, contraction and expansion, but from the outside this looks like a time of rude health for CCP and EVE, with this Fanfest seeing the announcement of new FPS EVE Vanguard alongside the Havoc expansion and a new mobile title. We began with the shooter, before branching out into everything else...

FSR 3, AMD’s framerate-roiding answer to DLSS 3 frame generation, is ready to roll in its first supporting games. Great! Except these are currently limited to tedious magic shooters Forspoken and Immortals of Aveum, which is less great.

Regardless, this could be a major moment for basically any modern graphics card that isn’t an Nvidia RTX 40 series model. FSR 3’s Fluid Motion Frames system works in a broadly similar manner to DLSS 3, piecing together whole new frames outside of the usual GPU rendering pipeline and slipping them onto your screen between the 'real' frames. The result (in theory – I’ll be trying FSR 3 out in depth next week) is higher FPS with no extra strain on your PC, and unlike Nvidia’s frame generation, it doesn’t need any specialist hardware to work. Therefore older cards, as well as recent AMD GPUs like the RX 7700 XT and RX 7800 XT, could get a new lease of life in games that support it.
