About EVE Vanguard

THE WARCLONE SAGA BEGINS

EVE Vanguard’s Alpha centers on high-stakes extraction operations. Action-filled deployments play out across a spectacular planetary battlefield shaped by intergalactic war.

Elite ground troops protect wreckage and corporate-controlled installations. Inside, advanced technology, lost relics, and valuable resources are waiting to be stolen.

From the moment you deploy, the alarm is raised. The window of opportunity is short - Nemesis is coming.

NEMESIS HUNTER

Nemesis encounters are brutal, multi-stage boss-fights against flying war machines built to annihilate you. But you are an immortal Warclone, so death is just the beginning. Will you risk everything you have and face one down, or escape to the stars?

Return to Avalon to forge stolen tech into specialized weapons and deployables designed to counter the threat. On the ground, coordination is everything: unite with other Warclones, bring the giants down, and extract their tech to fuel the ongoing war.

ADAPTIVE ARSENAL

Weapons evolve with you. Each gun is modular with multiple fire modes. Switch configurations on the fly – Burst to Full-auto, Energy to Kinetic – all customized through advanced chipsets.

Then, when you close the distance, draw your hand-forged Nova Blade to finish the fight.

WARCLONE LEGACY

Warclones endure aboard Avalon, a vast wandering flotilla hunted through the dark between the stars.

From its industrial decks, you manufacture weapons and equipment, trade through the Black Market, and launch Expeditions into hostile worlds.

Here, you decide what your Warclone becomes. Help forge Avalon into a force capable of challenging the Empires. Sell your blade to the highest bidder. Or betray your own kind and hunt alongside the powers that seek your extinction.

AS ABOVE, SO BELOW

Wars in space do not end at orbit. Campaigns in EVE Online influence the battlefields below, and your planetary operations contribute in return.

Support active war efforts, secure objectives tied to Capsuleer conflicts, and unlock advantages for Vanguard deployments while aiding broader campaigns across New Eden.

THE META IS REAL

Vanguard unfolds within the living universe of EVE Online, shaped over decades by millions of players.

The battles above shape your battlefield. Your actions on the ground will shape the future of New Eden.

Be there at the beginning of the Warclone saga.
