EVE Online – Reign Quadrant Update Live

With a new year upon us, CCP Games brings us Reign – EVE Online’s first “Quadrant” content update of 2021. Aside from the usual balance changes, this update improves the game’s fleet functionality, enhances its jump tunnel animations, and kicks off a couple of in-game events.

You’ll find some additional details below, but first, here’s the official update trailer:

Reigning Capsuleers,

Achieve tactical supremacy and victory in New Eden with EVE Online’s new Quadrant “Reign”, the first in 2021! Launching a new year of Quadrants after 2020’s successful introduction of themed content for EVE, Reign brings with it exciting new updates to fleets and travel, continuous balance and meta changes, plus returning events such as the Guardian’s Gala and The Hunt.

Fleet options in EVE will improve during the Reign Quadrant thanks to the Fleet Discovery update.

Many more upcoming changes will soon see the light as the Quadrant progresses, as has been the case for all of EVE’s Quadrants so far. One upcoming change will give Capsuleers more control over fleet formations and presence on the battlefield. For the curious, the Quadrant trailer is a solid starting point for theory crafters.

The Reign Quadrant also kicks off with substantial improvements to jump tunnel animations, providing a more immersive sci-fi experience, with the regions you are travelling between now visually reflected in the tunnel itself!

In addition, there are updates to how your home station is represented on the map, how it’s managed, with the price for changing its location removed, plus quality of life improvements throughout the Quadrant which some you can check out on the EVE Online forums!

The notorious Guardian’s Gala event will return to New Eden this week, and you are once again invited to disrupt the annual Serpentis pirates and Angel Cartel celebrations! Guardian’s Gala will include daily rewards for players logging in – More info on that is coming very soon. In addition to that, the Abyssal Proving Grounds will continue into 2021 as well.
