Legion Gets a Major Update on 9 Sept

Posted by EVE Online Team on

Capsuleers,

On 9 September, a major update for Legion is coming, directly reflecting the incredible feedback and ideas received from capsuleers and the Council of Stellar Management, as well as observations from capsuleer activity across New Eden.

According to EVE’s game design director, CCP Okami, “these changes are about more than balance: they’re about breathing new life into the battlefield. This update creates room for capsuleers to experiment, adapt, and explore. That’s when EVE is at its best.”

Among the exciting adjustments coming are ship and module balance changes that are poised to crack open the meta and encourage fresh strategies. Underutilized ships will surge back into relevance, armor doctrines gain speed, and the stranglehold of overpowered hulls will loosen.

To learn more about some of the biggest changes coming with the major update, make sure you tune into Alliance Tournament XXI this weekend on CCPTV, where CCP Kestrel will dive into some of the details.

Exploration grows deeper with fresh connections in wormhole systems and richer opportunities in Pochven. Meanwhile, freelance pilots now find daring new opportunities, including the order to destroy another capsuleer. The universe itself becomes more responsive, with improved exploration, wormhole UI enhancements, and various quality-of-life additions that smooth every jump, scan, and skirmish.

This is an update forged from capsuleer feedback and battlefield data alike, designed to give you more choice, more creativity, and more reasons to fight. New Eden belongs to those who adapt. Will you rise to the challenge?
