Capsuleers,

A gift has been left for you in the New Eden Store*! Inside your Yoiul Festival Celebration Crate you’ll find a festive firework to celebrate the season, along with 20 free PLEX. Pop your PLEX into the vault and fire up your fireworks as we ring in the new year together.

PLEX can be used to upgrade your account to Omega, unlocking doubled training speed and access to advanced skills. PLEX can also be used to unlock Multiple Character Training, Skill Extractors, SKINs - or you can sell it for a little extra ISK!

Make sure you head to the store and pick up your Yoiul Festival Celebration Crate before 23:59 UTC 1 January and enjoy your festive freebies.

*This gift is available to all of you who played for three hours or more between 1 Dec 2024 and 19 Dec 2025

A similar deal ran earlier this year. EVE Online trader Oz, the creator of New Eden’s largest public investment fund, covered it as his first instalment in a series he calls Rate the Deal:

Omega makes a great gift

It’s the season of giving, and the experience of playing EVE Online is a priceless gift that never goes out of fashion.

Don’t forget, Omega time and most other items available in the New Eden Store can easily be gifted to other players.

While the EVE Store doesn’t have a gift option, you can visit one of EVE Online’s official resellers and purchase a code that then can be gifted to whoever you desire.

Happy holidays, capsuleers, and thank you for another great year in New Eden. See you in the new one.

Momentous capsuleers,

As the year comes to a close, we look back at the year in EVE Online and celebrate capsuleer achievements, standout moments, and a lot of big numbers.

Legion Expansion

The Legion expansion introduced Freelance Jobs, letting capsuleers earn ISK and build reputation through player-created missions, while offering corporations a new way to grow. Two powerful new ships entered the battlefield: the Babaroga, a Triglavian marauder, and the Sarathiel, an Angel Cartel dreadnought. New sovereignty upgrades provided greater strategic control and flexibility, while corporation colors got a hex-coded upgrade. Here are the standout statistics for the Legion expansion:

Catalyst Expansion

The Catalyst expansion sparked a resource rush across New Eden with the discovery of prismaticite, harvested from phased asteroids. The mining experience was overhauled, with critical hits and mining mutaplasmids being introduced. O.R.E. debuted the Pioneer mining destroyer, along with a Consortium and Tech II variant, and the Sisters of EVE debuted a new vessel, the Odysseus-class expedition command ship. A new 2D starmap, PLEX transition logs, carrier updates, and access control lists for Freelance Jobs rounded out the expansion. Here are the standout statistics for the Catalyst expansion:

Alliance Tournament XXI

Congratulations are in order for the Tuskers Co., who emerged victorious for the second year in a row in Alliance Tournament XXI. See the AT wrap-up for all the juicy statistics. A total of 54 alliances participated in 140 matches for this year’s tournament. There were 711 kills worth an estimated total of 1.52 trillion ISK, with the most valuable flagship loss valued at 210.94 billion. And on the subject of expert marksmanship, congratulations are in order for the most valuable solo killmail – and commiserations for the most expensive ship loss.

Capsuleer Carnage

The capsuleer empires and communities have not stood still in 2025, be it fighting, moving, or political intrigue. There were major upsets, including the collapse of the storied PanFam coalition.

More Numbers, More Mayhem

Here are some more numbers on activity from around New Eden:

Happy New Year

We bid a fond farewell to 2025. It was a year of industry, sovereignty, and massive upset among the alliances of New Eden. Here’s to an eventful new year. Happy holidays, and fly safe in 2026!
