EVE Vanguard: The MMOFPS That Values Your Time, Set to Launch on Steam Early Access Next Summer

Oh man, where do I even start with this? So, CCP’s got this new thing going down, right? EVE Vanguard. If you’ve ever dabbled in EVE Online, you know these folks don’t mess around. They’re trying to shake up the shooter scene — think Destiny vibes mashed up with their own EVE magic. Sounds wild, right? Anyway, I’ve got this weird mix of excitement and, well, skepticism. Maybe that’s just me being my usual skeptical self. Who knows.

People are talking, but let’s face it — talk is cheap. CCP just dropped the bombshell that Early Access is hitting us on Steam come Summer 2026. Before then, there’s this early look-see happening on September 16. Kind of like getting a sneak peek before everyone floods in. Like a backstage pass, but for gamers. You can find the deets on their Discord. I should do that. Probably.

Now, they’re pitching it as this mega MMOFPS wonderland where you basically set your own path. Loot, shoot, rinse, repeat. I read the press release — definitely a lot of fancy words, but underneath, it’s got that vibe. You know, like when you discover a new song that’s just different enough not to bore you? Something like that. Feels like a breath of fresh air against all those same-old seasonal shooters.

Oh, and about the dates. Yeah, they’ve jumbled them a bit. I said it’d hit consoles in 2028, but now, Early Access is sooner-ish — still trying to pull apart what’s changed there. I need to grill CCP about it later. Bear with me on this one.

Look, if you’re getting worn down by the usual shooter grind, maybe keep an eye on Vanguard. It could surprise you. I mean, who doesn’t like a good plot twist, right? Keep your eyes peeled!
