Eve Echoes Open Beta Begins
Eve Echoes, the Eve Online mobile spinoff, entered open beta on Monday. Unlike the PC version though, Eve Echoes is developed by the Chinese gaming giant Netease. The developer has promised to deliver a true Eve Online like experience on mobile and the game bills itself as an open world sandbox MMORPG. Despite being in 'open beta', there will be a wipe before official launch according to the game's app store page.
EVE Echoes is a next-gen mobile spaceship MMO game based upon hallmark EVE Online design principles. In EVE Echoes, players will be able to forge their own path to glory within a massive space sandbox environment, forming alliances with other pilots from across the galaxy to shape the game’s persistent universe.
Players will be free to engage in interstellar combat, exploration, piracy, resource harvesting, industrial manufacture, trade, as well as many other activities across thousands of solar systems. Whether it's the rise and fall of an empire, or the shifting balance of power, the entire history of EVE Echoes will be written by its players.
Expect a first look for this one in the near future. Despite being developed by a Chinese company, I have high hopes for Eve Echoes.
Check out the game on Android or iOS (Testflight app required).
