Starting at Noon Eastern time, you can join The Escapist in Dust 514 for five days of glorious corporate warfare.

As of this moment, The Escapist has officially kicked off our five-day Dust 514 extravaganza. For four hours each day, plus bonus hours in the evening on Monday and Friday, we'll be duking it out next to you, the community, and streaming to Twitch.tv for your viewing pleasure. If you've got a PS3, you can download the Dust 514 beta and play with us for free. Check out the How to Play page for instructions on how to get into the game. If you don't have a PS3, that's no problem. Just head over here for our live stream of the event. Whether you're decimating clone armies with your trusty sniper rifle, or just watching the festivities on Twitch, you'll get to see just how good (or bad) The Escapist crew is at clone-based warfare.

Dust 514 is a free-to-play FPS with a novel twist. Success or failure in Dust 514 battles can impact the EVE Online universe. Whether you're fulfilling a mercenary contract for a player corporation, or ordering an orbital bombardment to help secure a victory on the battlefield, your actions in Dust can affect player holdings in EVE.

The Escapist will be in game and streaming to Twitch every day this week, as per the schedule below. If you're stuck at work during the day, fear not. We'll have bonus hours in the evenings on Monday and Friday, from 5:30 to 7:30pm eastern time. So boot up your PS3, download Dust 514, and get into the action now. Would you like to know more?
