Do you demand more Dominion? Download the new high-definition trailer for EVE’s 12th free expansion, scheduled for deployment on December 1. 

In addition to the trailer, CCP has also launched the EVE Online: Dominion home page, your home for screens, video, developer blogs, and all things Dominion. The feature page includes developer commentary and insight on all of Dominion‘s features, which include: 

Sovereignty Evolves

The system of territorial control in EVE advances, providing more tactical, capture-based gameplay. Alliances both large and small will find more opportunities within their grasp and an engaging conquest system in place to seize them. Rulers will now have to actively defend space they have claimed. 

New Doomsday Devices and Capital Ship Changes

The rebuilt Doomsday Devices lead the pack of several changes to capital ships, bringing the need for new strategies to the wreck-strewn battlefields of capital ship combat. 

Exploration and Advanced PVP Tutorials

New introductions to two of EVE’s most popular areas of gameplay: ship combat and discovery. The exploration tutorial teaches how to probe space for anomalies, hostile ships and hidden asteroid belts. In the advanced PvP tutorial, new pilots can learn the basics safely… well, relatively safely. 

Pirate Faction Epic Arc Missions

Choose to ally with the underworld of New Eden as the first of many pirate epic arcs arrive. Hidden deep within the most dangerous regions of space, these agents provide significant rewards for the bold and the villainous. 

Full Featured In-Game Browser

Fully compliant with current industry browsers, including support for the many ‘EVE-enabled’ sites created by the community

What better way to honor the bold, intrepid settlers of the New World than by spending your Thanksgiving traversing New Eden’s most dangerous space in a newly purchased Force Recon Ship? The Pilgrim, stealthy pride of the Carthum Conglomerate shipyards, is the perfect starship in which to become a valiant settler of EVE’s mysterious wormholes or a bold infiltrator of its equally dangerous 0.0 security regions, where player alliances rule supreme. Just as pilgrims explored the New World centuries ago, you can explore new worlds in a Pilgrim centuries… in the future! 

After stuffing yourself with turkey and, well, stuffing, you’ll wish you could engage the Pilgrim’s cloaking device around your rotund belly as you loosen up your belt a notch. Your belly will have to make do, though you can at least look forward to December 1 and the launch of Dominion, the 12th free expansion to EVE Online that showcases a revamped sovereignty system, new epic pirate arcs, and a new exploration path for new players.

In Dominion, the concept of sovereignty has been completely overhauled to inspire you to leave the relatively comfortable systems of Empire space and stake your claim in the dangerous regions of 0.0 space. As you claim territory, upgrade your infrastructure to become a key player in military, industrial, business, and exploration gameplay paths. Delve into the criminal underworld of EVE with new Epic Pirate Arcs by pledging allegiance to the most notorious outlaw factions, gaining their trust and getting paid for nefarious activities. Along with a host of other improvements requested by the EVE player community, Dominion offers more options than ever to experience EVE, to conquer, and to control.
