Dust 514 Gets Keyboard And Mouse Support

Dust 514 Gets Keyboard And Mouse Support

None

If you’re an EVE Online player who has been anxiously waiting for Dust 514 to hit the market, but are concerned by the fact that it’s only going to be available for the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita, I have some good news: Dust 514 will have keyboard and mouse support.

Now, obviously, this won’t be entirely comforting if you’re a PC purist who just wants to dive into the EVE Online universe, but if you simply prefer a mouse/keyboard to a control pad, this should help.

The news comes in the form of a tweet from the Executive Producer of CCP Games, Brandon Laurino: “…those asking for an “official statement,” the tweet reads, “DUST 514 *will* support keyboard and mouse on PS3.” The tweet was directed at EON Magazine, the official magazine of EVE Online.



Dust 514, for the uninitiated, is an upcoming massively multiplayer first-person shooter that’s set in the EVE Online Universe. The most interesting feature of Dust is it’s intricate relationship to EVE Online. The battles that happen in Dust 514, for instance, can have a major effect on the events that take place in the EVE universe. Planets taken over in Dust will be similarly controlled in EVE, and players from EVE Online may be able to send in reinforcements to help players from Dust achieve victory.

No release date has officially been announced, but Dust 514 should be entering the Beta testing phase any day now.
