EVE Online: Kronos is an expansion scheduled to be released June 3rd, 2014. The major theme is an industry overhaul; along with expected balancing changes, quality of life features and a new line of pirate faction ships.

New Point Release Schedule

CCP Seagull announced a revised update schedule. Doing away with the six monthly release window and opting for a 9 weekly point release schedule instead. She stated it would be easier for CCP to deploy simple features as well as allowing the development teams to embark upon larger endeavors, quoting corporation management as an example.
