CCP Says Dust 514 will be “The Biggest Multiplayer FPS on the Market”

At least, that’s what CCP executive producer Brandon Laurino claims.

“In terms of scale, depth and volume of content, Dust 514 will easily be the biggest multiplayer FPS on the market – also by virtue of being an MMOFPS, not just an FPS,” Laurino said.

Dust 514 is scheduled to launch exclusively on the PS3 and is a downloadable FPS, which connects with CCP’s space MMO Eve Online. The game will require a one-off fee of between $10 and $20 to play, with this payment converted into in-game currency.

“In terms of scale, you’re looking at a conflict taking place across thousands of planets, so we’re not just talking a dozen maps – we’re talking an entire universe of planets and areas of engagement within them,” Laurino told Eurogamer.

This amount of depth comes at a price, however – namely in the form of thousands of microtransactions available over the PlayStation network.

The beta for Dust 514 (known as Private Trials) is in the works, but no further details are available at this time.
