EVE’s starship pilots are able to form alliances with mercenaries from DUST 514, allowing them to participate in intense surface battles on the planets of New Eden, which are shared by both games. These battles are fought for control of areas on the planets.
The activities of players in real time in one game directly affect the actions of players in the other game, which is intimately interwoven with the operations of both ground forces and orbital attack fleets. In EVE Online, the equilibrium of power can be tipped in either direction by the discharge of a single bullet on the planet below. Each and every action has repercussions, and each and every reaction has the capacity to bring entire empires tumbling down.
The PlayStation platform’s one-of-a-kind characteristics were taken into account throughout the development of DUST 514, which was developed from the ground up. The entire version of the game will be downloadable over the PlayStation Network when it has been distributed digitally (PSN). It will offer complete support for the PlayStation Move controller as well as the PlayStation Move Sharp Shooter accessory, and over time it will expand the game experience throughout the entirety of the PlayStation ecosystem to include PlayStation Home and PS Vita.
DUST 514 will be supported by revenues from the in-game sale of virtual goods, which is a departure from the traditional subscription or one-time purchase model. This will enable players to purchase advanced weaponry, battle gear, and vehicles using both earned virtual currency and real money from their PlayStation wallet.
