Why you might like it

  • A unique free-to-play FPS set in the same persistent universe as EVE Online, where ground combat in Dust 514 could directly affect territory and politics in EVE's galaxy, and vice versa.
  • Allowed EVE Online players to call in orbital bombardment support for Dust 514 players fighting on planetary surfaces, a rare cross-game interaction mechanic.
  • Was one of the more ambitious attempts at true cross-genre, cross-platform MMO integration (FPS ground combat feeding into a persistent space-MMO economy) attempted by any studio.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • Shut down on May 30, 2016, after roughly three years as a PlayStation 3 exclusive.
  • Never released on PC; a planned PC successor codenamed 'Project Legion' was cancelled outright rather than released.
  • Because it required an active EVE Online subscription/account ecosystem to get full value from its cross-game features, it was always somewhat tied to that separate game's health and population.
