A trailer showing off the future of EVE Online was released by CCP this week at the EVE Fanfest, showing the interaction between the well-established MMORPG, EVE Online, and its upcoming sister game, the first-person shooter DUST 514. The trailer features lots of explosions, as well as land and space vehicles that play a role in characters' fates.

CCP describes the video as a "concept trailer" that demonstrates the scope of interaction between FPS and MMORPG players. MMORPG players will be able to hire FPS players as contract killers, among other things. In the trailer, the purported FPS player gazes down from a spaceship on the embattled world of the MMORPG player and communicates with him via hologram. Likewise, CCP notes that the two worlds will be intertwined, and that events in one will affect events in the other.

This isn't in-game footage, sadly, but a prerendered mockup, and there are no dates attached to the level of interaction shown here. DUST 514 has no official release date, but CCP has hinted at a late 2011 timeframe.
