Reykjavík, Iceland – November 17, 2022 – CCP Games today announced that EVE Fanfest will take place in Reykjavík, Iceland on September 21 - 23, 2023.

EVE is entering its third decade strong and we have no plans of slowing down. The game's future has never been brighter with the recent Uprising expansion and continued EVE Evolved updates. Our community continues to inspire us and we couldn’t be more grateful for their efforts over the last twenty years.”
