Amongst the millions of Dev Blogs and Video Updates, CCP is finally ready to mark a date for their Winter Expansion to EVE Online. Dubbed "The Crucible," This new expansion will bring swarms of little - and big! - changes to EVE Online as the team focuses on getting back to the basics of what made their game so popular in the first place. Graphical upgrades are a big focus this time around,in addition to introducing a pile of new ships, some significant UI changes, and some big mechanic updates.

According to the official feature website, EVE Online will be re-forged anew with their upcoming Crucible Expansion. Oh CCP, you are so witty with your words.

To celebrate the launch of their Crucible Expansion (and the holidays!) CCP is also offering some nice bonus items for their subscribers, starting with a new implant, the Genolution CA-1, for anyone subscribed who logs in on November 29th.
