Eve Frontier is offering a limited-time free trial from April 11 to April 21, providing players with an opportunity to experience its open-world sandbox gameplay. Developed by the team behind Eve Online, this game previously went through a Closed Alpha phase, allowing only select participants under a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and requiring a one-time payment of $40. Now, fans can explore the game for free, making it an ideal chance for both existing Eve Online players and newcomers interested in space survival games. At its launch, Eve Frontier will adopt a free-to-play model with a complex microtransaction system powered by blockchain technology.
This unique economy will enable players to own in-game assets, skills, and territories, with the possibility to resell them for profit, either in-game or in real life. The developers emphasize minimal restrictions on how players can monetize their assets and services, using blockchain to enhance business creation and management. Players can sign up for the trial by visiting the game’s official website. After logging into a verified account, they can download the game using an official launcher.
While the system requirements are quite modest, necessitating only a dual-core CPU, 4 GB of RAM, and a basic GPU, players should note that progress made during this open test might not carry over to the final version. The live server is expected to undergo periodic wipes, which could permanently erase any achievements prior to launch. Eve Online, known as the largest single-shard space MMO, is also worth exploring. Players can engage in battles or simply indulge in mining and exploration, piloting over 350 customizable starships.
New players can access a range of ships for free as Alpha Clones or choose to upgrade to Omega Clones for enhanced gameplay. This rich universe offers a unique journey and ample opportunities for players to carve their path in New Eden.
