Dear DUST 514 Community,
CCPGÇÖs development team in Shanghai has been working on a prototype for a first-person shooter for PC with the goal of building a great FPS set in our sci-fi universe of New Eden (the universe in which EVE Online, DUST 514, EVE: Valkyrie, and Gunjack are set). Their experience is being utilized to build a new game from scratch using Unreal Engine 4 while harnessing all our learnings from DUST 514. This is in many ways an evolution of Project Legion, the concept we announced at EVE Fanfest 2014, but without the limitations of technical debt and development paths we quickly discovered in that effort that could never serve as a future-proof technology base for a full production game. This new project is still in an early phase of production, and we feel like weGÇÖre on the right track and plan to give an update at EVE Fanfest on April 21st as a part of the free livestream of the event. Since this new game will be different from DUST 514 (although keeping many of its great parts), we will provide tiered recognition rewards to our loyal DUST customers, details to be announced.
We are very proud of what weGÇÖve learned and accomplished with DUST 514 on PlayStation 3 over the past three years and it is an honor to be a part of such a dedicated community. We consider DUST 514 one of the best free-to-play offerings on the platform, but the years have caught up with us. It is with a heavy heart that we inform you that DUST 514 will be shutting down on May 30th, 2016. We therefore will not be releasing the 1.3 update as we had planned. Players will continue to be able to play for free on our servers until then, but all further PSN packs and purchases have been removed and disabled from the in-game marketplace and the PlayStation Store. Players with existing Aurum will be able to continue to purchase items from the in-game marketplace.
Thank you for being a part of DUST 514 on the PlayStation 3. We look forward to the next chapter, and hope youGÇÖll be a part of it and continue the journey with us.
CCP Frame, CCP Community Team

On the project announcement:
CCP allowed us access to the announcement plans early on. What the CPM saw in that first draft did not fill us with confidence, and we felt it would not be received positively.
But that was only the first draft. We argued with CCP, in face to face meetings as well as text, to rework and reword the blog post that would forever change Dust as we knew it.
What you just finished reading is not perfect, and there are so many more things left to be addressed that the CPM feels should be shared. But despite all that, CCP (a group of actual real live people) deserve credit for listening to the constant criticism and doing what they felt is best.
I feel that I can safely speak for the rest of CPM2 when I say that we havenGÇÖt given up, and will continue to champion what is best for this community and its future, no matter the challenges.
Thank you, Dust community. We are in this together.
On Patch 1.3:
We learned that there would be no 1.3 on January 11th. I think you will find that after this date, the CPM did its best to not promise anything concerning the patch, and we hope that no one felt mislead.
We all thought it was coming GÇ£Soon,GÇ¥ CCP included, but things changed. We can only hope that some of the better features of 1.3 receive the polish they deserve and become part of this new project.
Now we are on the same page:
Now you know why we couldnGÇÖt say anything. Why you didnGÇÖt see feedback threads, Dust 514 wishlists, or peaks behind the curtain.
We are sorry we couldnGÇÖt do more, but it was simply the situation we inherited. Going forward however, the shroud of complete secrecy will be lifted somewhat.
Player/Asset Transfer:
For most of the community, the first question youGÇÖll ask might be GÇ£What will happen to my character?GÇ¥
This was pretty much the CPMGÇÖs first question as well, and we proceeded to prod, bug, cajole and inquire about the subject to no end.
Their response boiled down to GÇ£WeGÇÖll address it at the appropriate time, but we are currently focused on making the best game we can.GÇ¥ (IGÇÖm paraphrasing)
So please, donGÇÖt make threads requesting SP transfer or Quafe carry-over yet. That time will come, but until then, I believe that we as a community should focus on providing valuable feedback and ensuring this new version of Dust exceeds our expectations.

I can personally empathise with how many of the community will feel about this announcement, specifically the console only players. This evolution of the New Eden FPS will leave many of the loyal playerbase behind, and a lot of disappointment and even anger is justified in reaction to how all of this is and has been handled.
No matter how justified, taking that anger out with irrational behaviour on the forums or in game will not help anyone.
I hope the community can come together in a mature manner to discuss the issues and concerns that this announcement has raised, and that those of the community that are disappointed don't resent others celebrating the path CCP has chosen.

As Zaria has said my preferred option would've been PC and Console. But I understand the reasons why CCP decided on PC.
The silence has been a real pita but that goes for CCP as well as the players. The company wasn't prepared to announce anything till it was concrete.
The CPM felt it was very important as well that the Dust community found out first on their forums.
So please, take some time to digest the news and then the CPM will soon be asking for your feedback.
Kind regards

I'm very-very-very happy about this announcement for the following reasons:
- You guys are alive.
- There will be a New Eden FPS on PC under UE4!
But I'm also a sad a bit about the death of DUST...
Yes, I'm that desperate...

This announcement pleases me, and, quite frankly, starting from scratch is a great decision and I look forward to supporting it as CCP Shanghai works on it.

I was kinda hoping for a longer timeline on this kinda announcement, and I'm disappointed it didn't come coupled with a final code release to satisfy existing players in the long run. But I appreciate the official announcement, and look forward to more details in April.
CPM1 Elect. Thanks for all your support. [email protected] for ideas, thoughts, and feedback.

You could periodically shoot yourself in the gut while high on E. That's the closest I can think of.

This is as much as the CPM can say for now, but as Frame said, CCP will talk about it when they are ready.

I am both sad and happy at this announcement. My PS3 imploded some time ago and I never managed to replace it. Having been a part of DUST since the very beginning I am very eager to once again get my boots back on the ground sometime in the near future.
My only hope is that the existing DUST player base may get the opportunity to take part in the Beta's, because, who best to test it out! |

it doesnt matter how you word it, Dust is going to be shut down well in advance of the PC port.
and with it the dust community will be wiped out of existense.
without corps or squads or matches, what reason will there be to wait around for the pc version?
I got a PC so yeah in the year or two when the pc version maybe comes out, sure i'll recognize the IP. Certainly wont trust it. far too many unfinished features, and this is the second dust on pc promised. another legion vaporware? VR Dust? who knows?
if i get a message telling me my character Tesfa is alive and well, my skins and bpo's ported maybe i'll give it a go. the question would i even care anymore by then.
Would approach it from scratch? hell no.

I'm just posting the mail I've just sent to my Corp and Allience.
Long story short.... DUST University is sticking around
Hello to one and all,
You've all now been told the news regarding the move on the game from PS3 to PC and the shut down of the PS3 version at the end of May.
So what's happening to the Uni?
Its to going to stay till the end of the PS3 and then continue on PC. DUST University is the oldest Dust Corp in the game having been founded in 2009, so I'll be damned if a little thing like a format change is going to alter that.
The move to a new game, on a new format presents a Corp like us a fantastic opportunity to press for the tools that we've always lacked on the Sony format. I will continue to bug/annoy CCP for what we need and as we've been here for seven years nearly, we've become the closest thing to a ten year plan still around. ;)
So you know about the future now, I urge you all to join in on the forums and help CCP and the CPM make the new game everything we hoped for and more.
Kind Regards

Console only player here.
Well it was good while it lasted, I think.
At least a part of this game, wich i like to think we all helped build, will live on.
Good luck CCP devs, maybe we will see each other some day.
Good luck CPM, Im sorry for taking my anger on you, and its too bad your term is going to be short lived...
I have you guys keep working with CCP, you are a great team (y)
We had a blast
