Summary

  • Join Eve Frontier's limited-time free trial from April 11-21 to experience the open-world sandbox game.
  • The game will feature a unique economy allowing players to own assets and territories, leveraging blockchain technology.
  • Players can access the game on macOS and Windows with minimal system requirements, but progress may not carry over.

Eve Frontier, the upcoming game from the developers of Eve Online, has announced a free trial period. Previously in Closed Alpha, the game was only available to a select group under NDA and required a one-time $40 payment. Now, curious fans have a chance to jump in for free for a limited time, which is an ideal opportunity for Eve Online players and space survival enthusiasts to check it out.

At launch, Eve Frontier will be a free-to-play open-world sandbox game, though it will also include complex microtransaction systems, such as blockchain-backed technologies. Its unique economy is planned to allow players to fully own their assets, skills, and territories, with the option to resell them for in-game or real-world profit. According to the developer, there will be no restrictions on how players monetize their belongings and services, with blockchain technology solely supporting business creation and management.

Eve Frontier' s limited-time trial began on April 11 and runs through April 21. During this 10-day window, fans can sign up for the open test on the game's official website. After logging into a verified account, they'll be able to download the official launcher and access CCP's ambitious space survival MMO for free. The only requirement is accepting a non-disclosure agreement, although it's less restrictive than the one enforced during the Closed Alpha phase.

How to Sign Up for Eve Frontier's Free Trial

  • Head to the official webpage at www.evefrontier.com/trial.
  • Log in using a verified email.
  • Click "Account Page" in the top-right corner.
  • Select "Download Launcher" from the top navigation bar.
  • Log in using the same account in the launcher.
  • Download the game and play it for free until April 21.

Judging by its system requirements, Eve Frontier doesn't seem to be a demanding PC game. It only requires a dual-core CPU, at least 4 GB of RAM, and a GPU equivalent to an AMD Radeon 5450 or NVIDIA GeForce 420 with at least 1024 MB of VRAM. On top of that, the game is currently available for both macOS and Windows, making it even more accessible.

Players planning to join Eve Frontier' s open test server should be aware that their progress might not carry over. According to the developer, the live server will undergo periodic wipes, meaning anything earned or built before the game's final launch could be permanently lost. This is a notable concern, especially given Eve Frontier's challenging progression system. For those uninitiated, the game features 100,000-star systems and stands out as one of the sci-fi titles with a truly impressive sense of scale. Regardless, the free trial seems to offer a solid opportunity for casual players who just want to see if Eve Frontier will be worth their time when it officially launches.
