Free EVE Online Expansion Pack, Inferno, To Launch May 22nd

The good ol' developers of EVE Online, CCP Games, have a long history of releasing free content for their popular space MMO, and the coming week heralds the 17th piece of free goodies, as they've just announced the EVE Online : Inferno expansion pack.

CCP say that EVE Online : Inferno is set to "shake up all levels of warfare in the over 7,500 solar systems" that EVE Online is home to and will also "affect player-driven conflict".

The EVE Online : Inferno expansion pack is being rolled out by CCP to prepare the game (and the gamers who play it) for the free to play, PS3 exclusive counterpart, Dust 514, the soldier-shooter online version of EVE Online that will work alongside the guys in the sky (also known as the EVE Online players) to fight for the galaxy.
