EVE ISK:CCP Announces EVE Online: Trinity Launch Date

Reykjavik, Iceland - November 28, 2007 - CCP, one of the world's largest
 independent game developers, today announced that the highly anticipated 
EVE Online: Trinity expansion for its popular massively multiplayer online 
game (MMOG) will be available on December 5, 2007. Available as a free 
online download for all EVE subscribers, Trinity features a next-generation 
graphics engine that sets a new aesthetic standard for online games. 
This expansion comes on the heels of another important milestone: more than 
200,000 players now subscribe to EVE Online.

The release of the Trinity expansion fortifies EVE Online's position at the 
forefront of three-dimensional game graphics, creating a breath-taking 
cinematic experience during actual gameplay. In order to achieve its visual 
goals, CCP developed a new graphics engine, architected for Shader Model 
3.0 and above. In this first showcase for the new engine, all ships, stations 
and stargates have been reconstructed. EVE Online: Trinity employs
 advanced lighting techniques and complex surface materials to make these highly
 detailed models even more realistic.

"EVE Online players always inspire and amaze everyone at CCP, and it is 
invigorating to see our subscription numbers surpass 200,000 as we prepare
 for the Trinity release," said Hilmar Veigar Petursson, Chief Executive
 Officer of CCP. "We're pleased that advances in graphics technology allow 
us to present the world of EVE as we had always envisioned it. We look forward 
to sharing the Trinity edition with the fast-growing, dedicated community
 that shares our passion to remove the barriers that constrain virtual worlds 
from meeting their full potential." 

The Trinity launch also includes a host of new features. For full details
