CCP Games has launched EVE Online: Rubicon, the 20th free expansion for its sci-fi MMO EVE Online. In EVE Online: Rubicon, players wage guerilla-style warfare against other players, raid their controlled space in new ships meant for both exploration and combat, and erode industrial power from deep behind enemy lines by using mobile, player-owned structures that leech resources and provide tactical support.

EVE Online: Rubicon is focused on individual and small fleet activity, new quick-strike options offer a powerful war tactic and a fresh style of victory in EVE’s “sandbox” universe. In addition this expansion brings a new set of mobile, player-owned structures created to support action outside of the safety of the hangar. Meant for both solo and group use, they accentuate and diversify gameplay for pilots seeking to find their homes amongst the stars.

In addition, the Marauder, Electronic Attack Frigate, Interceptor and Interdictor class hulls have been rebalanced to change the warfare “meta” for fleets of all sizes. New certificate and ship identification systems help novice players ease into one of the world’s most indisputably deep games and give veteran players a greater sense of what to accomplish next.

“With Rubicon, we’re taking the first, decisive steps towards our vision for EVE Online’s second decade,” said Andie Nordgren, senior producer of EVE Online. “We are at the beginning of a multi-expansion arc that will forever alter the face of New Eden by offering players more power over the universe than ever before and setting them upon an inevitable path to ascension.”
