Alright, here goes nothing. Buckle up.

You ever get that weird jolt of excitement but you’re not sure if it’s justified? Well, that’s me with EVE Vanguard. It’s like CCP’s trying to stir the pot with their new FPS, pulling vibes from Destiny and Helldivers 2 but with that whole EVE Online twist. Can they really shake things up? That’s the million-dollar (or maybe ISK?) question.
Anyway, people are all over the map with this one. Skeptics are squinting hard at those big promises. But you know what? CCP wants you to just jump in and see what the fuss is about. They dropped the bomb at FanFest — early access is hitting Steam in Summer 2026. But hey, plot twist! There’s a sneak peek happening on September 16. If you’re itching to dive in, that’s your ticket. Check the game’s Discord for the deets.
So, what’s this game about, really? They’re talking about a player-driven FPS world, scavenge hunts, rival showdowns, and contracts that sound as dangerous as my attempts at DIY. Spin that however you want. It’s got that “set your own path” kinda thing going. Perfect for those who are sick of the treadmill in other shooters. Yeah, there’s more I want to spill, but embargoes, man. Gotta keep my lips zipped for now.
Oh, and if you’re playing the timeline game, you might’ve noticed some funny business. We chatted about the console drop in 2028, but now early access is ahead of schedule. Founder’s access is still in my 2024 notes, but who knows what’s shifting next. I’m on it, grilling CCP over the weekend. In the meantime, if you’re scratching your head over what Vanguard’s cooking, jump in and see for yourself. It’s gonna be a wild ride, or maybe it won’t. Guess it’s time to find out.
