Dust 514 is a free-to-play first-person shooter that's being incorporated into the EVE universe, acting essentially an action MMO for consoles. The game offers a mix of first-person shooting and real-time strategy gameplay where you play as a marine with a rifle running around on the ground. It's not only set in the EVE universe, it's actually connected to EVE. The Dust battlefields will determine who controls territory within EVE's world. The EVE Online players will have to contract players of Dust to go in and destabilize territory.
The universe of EVE Online persists without your input, and so will the planets and infrastructure of the first-person shooter Dust 514, which are the same planets and installations in the same universe as CCP's infamous and acclaimed massively multiplayer online role-playing game. Dust 514, a PlayStation 3 exclusive due next summer, is an attempt to open the universe of New Eden to a new community of gamers who are either too busy or too uninterested to untangle the intricacies of the spacefaring MMO on PC or Mac.
