Dust 514 was a massively multiplayer online first-person shooter for the PlayStation 3 , which takes place in the EVE online universe and was developed by the CCP studio in Shanghai . The game was announced on August 18, 2009 with a short preview trailer consisting of unrendered recordings at the Game Developers Conference in Cologne and released worldwide on May 14, 2013 as a free-to-play title. It was the first game CCP Games developed since EVE Online . The game's servers were shut down on May 30, 2016.
The game features player-controlled ground combat in battles on planets in the EVE Online Universe. The battles can decide who controls the various planets in the EVE Universe. DUST-514 players interact with the players in the EVE universe by offering mercenary services. In an interview conducted by Simon Carless from Gamasutra , Petursson said that the EVE online and DUST communities are merging, bridging the two game worlds. Furthermore, partnerships should arise between the flight-oriented nature of EVE Online and the infantry- oriented nature of DUST; he said literally: "while the fleet does the flying, the infantry does the dying" (Eng .: "while the fleet is flying, the infantry will die"). According to Game Informer , this is a new challenge for EVE Online fans and gamers in testing their FPS skills. This type of networking between computer and console players is a novelty in the industry.

At the EVE-Online-Fanfest 2009 it was announced during the keynote speech that DUST 514 would be linked to EVE Online through a phased implementation strategy at certain points during the term of both games. However, every game can run independently of it.
The players do not have classes like in Battlefield , but determine specializations by their decision. Customizable vehicles use a high – medium – low slot system and are available to all players, much like the spaceships in EVE Online. It is also possible to build turrets. During the matches there is a "Commander" who uses an RTS- like perspective. The planets are divided into districts and the Planetary Interaction introduced with the EVE Online update Tyrannis plays a role with DUST in the sovereignty system of the solar systems in EVE Online. Thus, DUST-514 players offer themselves to the alliances in EVE as mercenaries and secure the sovereignty of a solar system by conquering planets.
