Creator of Eve Online x.com/CCPGames” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>CCP Games has officially renamed its upcoming blockchain-based game, formerly known as Project Awakening, to x.com/EVE_Frontier” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Eva Frontera.
The game is being developed on the ethereum ecosystem, using its layer-2 network, Redstone, which is based on Optimism technology.
With Eve Frontier, CCP Games is integrating blockchain-based features such as tokenized economies and player-driven infrastructure, marking its debut in the blockchain gaming space.
What is Eve Frontier?
Eve Frontier is a space survival simulation game where players must work together to build and expand within a persistent, chained world.
The game, built with blockchain technology at its core, allows players to build and customize infrastructures, shape economies, and interact with the universe in a player-controlled environment. Unlike traditional games, Eve Frontier integrates ethereum-based tokens and smart contracts to enable decentralized control over in-game assets and economies.
The game includes two main tokens: the $EVE token, a utility token on ethereum, and the $LUX token, which is used for in-game transactions.
Players also have the ability to create their own in-game currencies, which can be used to reward developers and other players who contribute to the game world.
What can we expect from Eve Frontier?
Eve Frontier is being built using CCP Games' proprietary Carbon engine and the MUD pipeline engine developed by Lattice.
One of the game’s key features is its “Smart Sets” system, where players can create customizable structures such as storage units or trading posts. These structures can be programmed using ethereum’s Solidity smart contracts, allowing for a high degree of flexibility and control for players.
Additionally, CCP Games has stated that the Carbon engine will be open source, allowing players and developers to modify and expand the game world.
Eve Frontier's next closed beta test is scheduled for September 27 and will be available on both PC and Mac.
