EVE Online: Equinox Expansion Launches on June 11; EVE Vanguard Gets Major Feature Update
Today, CCP Games announced EVE Online: Equinox, the next expansion of the sci-fi sandbox MMO, slated for release on June 11.
EVE Online: Equinox will enable players to strategically harness the rich resources of nullsec and customize their in-game identity with a powerful new spaceship SKINR tool. Players will be able to acquire new ships and technologies designed to help them control and shape nullsec space. With the Upwell Consortium's new range of products, they will harvest and use various planetary resources, solar power, and the labor of a cloned workforce. SKINR will allow players to create, customize, and sell their own ship SKINs.
