EVE Online goes free in November with upcoming Clone States feature EVE Online will be completely free starting this November, although current customers will be given access to more content.

CCP has announced EVE Online will be free starting in November.

The studio will be adding a Clone States feature that will do away with trial accounts and will allow all players, past, present, or future, the ability to play EVE Online for free.

The expansion coming in November will divide characters into two clone states. Omega clones will proceed to interact with the game as current active EVE characters, allowing them unlimited access to skill progression and rapid skill training. Alpha clones will become the new standard for all characters as they’ll be able to train and use specific skills to fly some of the most often-used ships in the game, which includes Tech 1 frigates, destroyers, and cruisers. Alpha pilots will also be able to access trading, industry, and exploration skills

The upcoming expansion will also include additional sandbox gameplay features, including the new Industrial Arrays, which is a new class of player-built structures that further the progress of Citadel structures that were first introduced in April. Additional planned features include a new ship, tactical adjustments to warfare links, changes to the Rorqual industrial capital ship, and more.
