Fans of the PvPvE shooterEVE Vanguard probably already guessed that its Steam early access launch would shiftpast its target of this summer, but now they know for sure thanks to an announcement from Fenris Creations. The good news, however, is that it’s also going tohead into 24/7 alpha testing as well. At least, if you pay for the privilege to join in.
Specifically, the always-on alpha will begin on Tuesday, November 10th, through paid access. How much this access will cost and “access options” aren’t being shared by the studio yet, but they do promise more information closer to the month of November itself. Naturally, this shift in testing phases also means that Steam early access is now targeting a release window of Q3 in 2027, which is effectively the beta test of the FPS.
As for what the alpha build will offer, that includes an updated tutorial, three new maps including a PvE map, a PvPvE map, and an extraction map; an upgraded weapon-specific progression system known as weapon telemetry; the ability to ally with one of the MMO’s four major alliances; a new suit; and improvements to the game’s UI and movement that include vaulting over higher cover. There are certainly a few ways to feel about this announcement, but at least the MMOFPS is heading to its next major milestone.
