Valve Software and CCP Games have announced that the long running space based MMO EVE Online will be made available to download via Valve's content delivery service. It will be the first MMO game that Steam will have available via download. To celebrate EVE Online's debut on Steam, CCP Games is offering a 21 day free trial of the game for Steam users as well as $5 off on the first month of regular monthly service.
Bellevue, Washington and Reykjavik, Iceland - January 22, 2008 - EVE Online, the award winning massively multiplayer online (MMO) game from CCP, is coming to Steam, a leading platform for the delivery and management of PC games and digital content with over 13 million accounts worldwide.
To celebrate the launch of Steam's first massively multiplayer online game offering, a special 21-day trial period for EVE will be available, free of charge, to all Steam gamers. Steam gamers will also save $5 off their first full month of EVE Online.
"Launching EVE on Steam means the addition of another fantastic PC game and the introduction of MMOs on Steam," said Jason Holtman, director of business development at Valve. "The team at CCP continues to expand EVE's universe and gameplay for the legions logging in to play each month, just as we continue to expand Steam's consumer and developer features."
