However, CCP announced that Dust 514 would officially shut down on May 30, 2016. On April 21, 2016, CCP announced development of the game Project Nova, a free-to-play first-person lobby shooter for the PC using Unreal Engine 4 set in the EVE Online universe.

Dust 514 will bite the dust on May 30. Servers for the free-to-play shooter spun off of the Eve Online continuity will close down after three years in play, developer and publisher CCP games announced today. The shutdown means that a planned 1.3 update to the game will not be released.

Project Nova
First announced at Eve Fest 2016, Project Nova is part replacement, part spiritual successor, to Dust 514, CCP’s last ambitious attempt to create an FPS that tied into Eve Online’s world of massive spaceships and even bigger faction politics.

Alongside long-toothed MMOs like Runescape, it has survived where others have fallen. But surely even this infamous generator of sci-fi skulduggery must pay the final toll some time. Well, not according to Hilmar Veigar Pétursson, CEO of the game’s developer, CCP. “It’s never going to die,” he says.

Due to the way the game works — a world created by the actions of its players, recorded on a single persistent shard — the swift modernisation offered by a traditional sequel is not an option. There could never be an EVE Online 2.

Dust 514 ( / ˈdʌst faɪv wʌn fɔːrˈ / ( listen)) was a free-to-play first-person shooter developed by CCP Games for the PlayStation 3. Dust 514 took place in New Eden and was directly connected to CCP’s game Eve Online.

Dust 514 players could also work together with Eve players in capturing systems in Eve Online’s factional warfare space; Dust 514 players could speed up or slow down the rate at which a system could be captured by winning battles for the attacking faction.

CCP Games reached an agreement with Epic Games China in 2010 to license Unreal Engine 3 for use in Dust 514. During E3 2011, it was confirmed that Dust 514 would be released exclusively on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.
