EVE Vanguard opens signups for Operation Avalon alpha test on July 7

EVE Vanguard has opened signups for its next alpha test, with the event set to run from July 7 to July 20. The test is called Operation Avalon, and it comes from Fenris Creations, the studio name now being used for the project.

According to the announcement, Operation Avalon is meant to give players a look at both the shooter’s setup and its basic loop: dropping onto planets, scavenging for resources, and trying to make it back out alive. It’s a first-person shooter set in the wider EVE universe, so the pitch is less about arena matches and more about extraction-style runs tied to that setting.

That’s the main takeaway here: signups are live now, and the next public testing window is locked in for early July. If you’ve been waiting to see more of what Vanguard actually plays like, this sounds like one of the clearer chances yet.

The source snippet doesn’t include more specifics on access, platforms, or whether signups guarantee a spot, so those details are still unclear from the information provided.
