Today, CCP Games and Massively Multiplayer Online Science (MMOS) revealed the launch of their collaboration within the renowned sci-fi MMO, EVE Online. Titled Project Discovery: Phase Four, this new initiative expands upon the ability to research critical immune system diseases as a part of the game.
Since it is all based on real-life procedures, strides that are made in EVE Online Discovery: Phase 4 are also applicable to potentially helping solve real-world diseases like cancer. This has been added to the game starting today and is part of a brand-new minigame that hopes to deal a significant blow to diseases.
First added to EVE Online back in 2020, Project Discovery has already been a huge success, as the player base of over 900,000 made substantial contributions to accelerating research for a vaccine for COVID-19. You can see a breakdown of all four phases of the project below:
Key Features of Project Discovery Phase Four:
- Expanded research focus on critical immune system diseases, including cancer
- Enhanced minigame with revised tutorial and advanced analysis techniques
- More complex scientific challenges for players
- Exclusive cosmetic rewards
Project Discovery Achievements Since 2020:
- Over 900,000 EVE Online players participating
- More than 500 million citizen science games played
