Dust 514

During the 2009 Games Convention in Cologne, Germany, CCP unveiled Dust 514, an upcoming console based MMOFPS title meant to integrate with the Eve Online universe. According to developers, players hired by Eve Online alliances would fight over planets.[80]

According to Eve Online Senior Producer Torfi Frans Olafsson, at the recent Eve Online Fanfest, the Dominion release will involve sovereignty, the ownership of districts on planets which are capable of creating industry.[81] This player ownership system will be dynamic as it will be subject to PvP diplomacy as well as subjugation. The latter allows for linking with Dust 514 (planned release 2011), whereby players within Eve Online will be able to contract, in-game, Dust 514 players to take control of planetary regions within the Eve Online universe and these 'mercenaries' will then vie with other Dust 514 players hired by the opposing faction. The integration between the console MMOFPS game and the Eve Online MMORPG is both through community interaction and through the changeable battlefields based on the planetary architecture of a common universe—the outcome of these battles in Dust 514 will affect the status and ownership of the corresponding planets in Eve Online as well.
