EVE Online is a notoriously hard game, but it doesn't have to be!

With the help of a few hundred pilots, and a specialized cow-friendly gaming rig, our new developer here led a fleet which cleared out 3 asteroid fields of ore!

If a cow can play EVE, what's stopping you? 🐮

Games have played an important role in AI research for decades. Persistent virtual worlds introduce a different class of problem.

EVE Online has more than twenty years of accumulated history, an economy driven by players, shifting political structures and decisions whose consequences can unfold over months or years.

That makes New Eden an unusually rich environment for studying areas such as continual learning, memory, long-horizon planning and multi-agent behavior.

Our EVE Online team explains more about the work, how research environments are kept separate from Tranquility, and the principles guiding us.

Extremely excited to announce Áslaug Arna Sigurbjörnsdóttir is joining Fenris Creations to help build the partnerships behind our long-term AI research.

GamesIndustry.biz takes a closer look at her new role connecting our work around EVE Frontier with AI labs, academia, policymakers and industry.

At the heart of it is a bigger question: can persistent virtual worlds give us a new way to study advanced AI operating inside complex, evolving social and economic systems?

For more than two decades, EVE has given people the freedom to build, compete, cooperate and create outcomes that no one could have planned in advance.

For nearly 29 years, we have been guided by a bold idea: that virtual worlds can be more meaningful than real life.

Today, on EVE Online's 23rd birthday, we are marking one of the most significant transitions in our company's history.

We are becoming Fenris Creations: an independent company with the ownership, governance, and clarity to invest in the EVE universe for decades to come.

The name Fenris Creations is inspired by Norse myth, but it is also rooted in our own history.
Back in 1997, we were captivated by a belief that has shaped us ever since: for a virtual world to have meaning, it must be shaped by risk, loss, renewal, and the people who inhabit it.
In short: death is a serious matter.

That belief was there from the beginning. Our very first published game carried the name Fenris on the box, a reminder of the kinds of worlds we wanted to build.

Nearly three decades later, Fenris Creations carries that first idea forward into a new era. Our name and structure are changing, but our roots and ideals remain the same: building living universes shaped by people, trust, consequence, and time.

We enter this new chapter with gratitude to Pearl Abyss for their partnership and support since 2018, and with respect for what this chapter helped make possible.

Looking ahead, we are excited to begin a research partnership with Google DeepMind, exploring intelligence in complex, dynamic systems through EVE Online.

A new name. An independent future. Another important step on the path to EVE Forever.

Today at London Games Festival, CCP Games CEO Hilmar Veigar Pétursson took the stage at to talk about EVE Forever: Designing a Living Game That Lasts, and what “EVE Forever” really means in practice.

Focusing on longevity, stewardship, and continuous evolution, the session explored how a 23-year-old game like EVE Online can keep surprising us, shaped as much by its community as by its creators.
