“Dust 514” is the upcoming free-to-play shooter from Iceland-based Ccp Games. The game takes advantage of the PlayStation 3’s free online multiplayer functionality to tie into Ccp’ long-running space-freight Mmo “Eve Online.” The basic frame is that on-the-ground “Dust 514” will fight for control of certain planets or sectors, clearing the way for “Eve”’s Byzantine, player-controlled corporations to mine the natural resources and set up shipping lanes.
It’s a super-interesting idea, but there’s a hitch: “Dust 514” isn’t out yet, with no release date announced, and the PlayStation4 will probably be out this fall.
“Like ‘Eve’, we believe ‘Dust’ is going to be a long-term service that will vastly outlive the hardware that it launches on,” Ccp chief marketing officer David Reid told Eurogamer. “Much like ‘Eve’ has vastly surpassed the graphics cards and processors of the PCs it launched on in 2003.”

Dust 514 studio Ccp Games has explained why it chose to make the game exclusive to the PlayStation 3. Chief marketing officer David Reid explained that the technical implications of the shooter's connectivity with Eve Online were something that could only be catered for by the Sony platform. "Think about the impact of virtual goods policies. People at Ccp and Sony have sat in rooms to work this out. It's not been this 'Here's this virtual goods policy. You must adhere to it or else you can't be on our platform'," he told Digital Spy. "Sony has been a terrific partner in enabling us to have that discussion with them, and trying to be innovative and flexible and finding ways that it can work for Ccp, it can work for Dust players, and it can work for the Sony ecosystem. Not easy to do, especially when you're talking (more)...
