EVE Frontier Enters Cycle 2: Ash and Resolve Starting August 20

Begin again. Build better. Rise from ash. Endure with resolve.

REYKJAVÍK, Iceland – August 14, 2025 – Today, CCP Games announced that EVE Frontier will be entering Cycle 2 of Founder Access, starting August 20 at 14:00 UTC. This marks the next step in the development of CCP Games’ science fiction MMO.

As Cycle 1 comes to a close, all progress and accumulated Grace points will be wiped. This means that every structure, ship and claim will be reset, giving players the chance to start again from a level playing field.

Titled Ash and Resolve, this next Cycle will see the addition of new systems and challenges to both help and threaten players. Throughout the second Cycle, players will have the chance to uncover echoes of the past and face evolving threats which loom across an unforgiving universe. Each week, dynamic new missions and in-game events will drive the narrative forward and reshape the Frontier.

Other updates include a redesign of the Small Gate Assemblies, which are smaller, cheaper stargates that facilitate connection between systems. The Broadcast Terminal will be introduced, delivering transmissions that update players on news and events, revealing new insight into what lies beneath the Frontier’s silence.

While accumulated Grace will be reset at the start of the new Cycle, founders who earned Grace in Cycle 1 will be able to claim EVE Points for their efforts. EVE points for Cycle 1 will be able to be claimed in September – more details on how to do this will be announced later in the Cycle.

In addition to new content, Cycle 2 will implement bug fixes with a focus on bringing added stability, along with quality-of-life updates that improve the overall game experience. The full list of changes can be found at https://evefrontier.com/en/news.

EVE Frontier is an in-development hardcore space survival MMO which gives players the freedom to shape the sandbox universe through a unique approach to modding, player factions and private economies.
