The EVE Online universe will be expanding into the FPS world when DUST 514 launches later this year. CCP has announced that beta registration is now open for the MMOFPS. Select EVE Online players and attendees from this year’s EVE Fanfest will be admitted this week with the more players added as the beta continues its expansion through the summer.

PSN code distribution was recently delayed for EVE Online players that had previously registered, but CCP has promised an event for this weekend to make it up. Details about the event will be revealed later.

Dear Players,

The first batch of PSN codes for EVE Online players who registered for the DUST 514 closed beta will be sent on Friday, May 18th instead. We apologize for the unexpected delay. However, there will be a special event this weekend for those of you that will receive the codes this Friday. We will be releasing details about the event shortly. Thank you.

CCP will be revealing more details about DUST 514 at this year’s E3 convention. Head over to the DUST 514 website to sign up for a chance at the beta.
