This coming weekend marks the 20th Anniversary of CCP Games and we think that’s something worth celebrating.

The project that started out two decades ago with a hit indie board game called Hættuspil (Danger Game), gave rise to the world’s most ambitious space-based MMO EVE Online. It has also culminated in the arrival of ground-breaking VR experience EVE: Valkyrie.

It’s been a heck of a story and you can read about it in more detail in our 20th Anniversary article.

But back to those celebrations, as part of the festivities we are setting up one of our Double XP Weekend events to run from Friday June 2nd to Monday June 5th. The fun starts at 9:00 UTC on Friday and you will be awarded double XP after every battle you participate in, right up until 9:00 UTC on Monday. Pretty awesome, right?

Plus, if you’re new to Valkyrie, you should know that by registering with us and linking your pilot with a CCP account, you can get more free stuff. By doing so, you will get a seven-day XP boost via an in-game implant. The great thing is you can use it at the same time as taking advantage of the Double XP Weekend. So, link your account by the weekend and you can clean up when it comes to gathering all that extra experience.

Also, you’ll become the proud owner of a cool Ember paint job for your ships.

Find out how to register and link your pilot to a CCP account in our guide, right here.

Thanks again for joining us on this remarkable ride.

Have a great weekend and fly safe!
