Aliens will invade the world of EVE Online this month

CCP Games has announced a new expansion to its cult MMO EVE Online. Players will feel the full power of the invasion of the alien world, called Triglavians.

By the way, the authors decided not to reinvent the wheel and called the add-on "Invasion". Apparently, the developers were inspired by the success of the Elite Dangerous, where Targoids, an alien race, began to attack players' ships.

In fights with new NPC crafts, users will be able to earn valuable rewards and defend star systems. The growing threat of the Universe to be captured or destroyed by a new civilization should add atmosphere and interesting gameplay to the game.

Bergur Finnbogason, EVE Online’s Creative Director, had a few words on the expansion: "Our goal has been to provide a universe-changing event for our community to experience in familiar space. We’re incredibly keen to see our players fighting for the star systems they hold dear against an increasingly serious threat unlike anything they’ve ever faced before!"

"EVE Online has always had the goal of providing new experiences and a living universe like no other," said Hilmar Veigar Pétursson, CCP’s Chief Executive Officer. "With EVE celebrating 16 years of strength and innovation, we continue to build on that ambition and tradition. I truly believe that by challenging our Capsuleers to defend the universe they have shaped, their destiny – as ever – remains in their own hands, ensuring EVE’s appeal now and into the future."

Of course, the update is not limited with invasion alone. The game will have new ships, as well as kits and parts for them, new loot and much more. A number of interface elements will be redesigned.

"Invasion" will be released on May 28 and will be free for all players.
