EVE Online expansions

EVE Online expansions, releases and events

CCP plans EVE Online expansions, minor releases and events in advance, sometimes even months in advance. Expansions are major updates to EVE Online, usually bringing new ships and major gameplay changes. The exact name of the upcoming expansions is always unknown. Minor releases and events are a way to keep the EVE universe alive without heavy changes to the game.

Please refer to the official EVE Online site for details about what the expansion (or update) is about, what's changed, what's new, patch notes, etc.

Eve Online expansions (so far)

Every EVE Online expansion has a page detailing what's new and what's changed: new ships, gameplay changes, new features. Click on the release name to open the official EVE Online expansion page. Minor releases, events and gatherings are not listed on this page.
