EVE Online's Crimson Harvest Returns With New Rewards

Ready to get spooky in the far reaches of space? EVE Online has officially kicked off its Crimson Harvest Halloween event, and this year it's bringing back familiar activities alongside some brand-new rewards for you to chase down.

Yes, we know seasons don't technically work on a galactic scale, but who really cares when there's loot to grab? The Halloween-themed event has returned to the spaceship sandbox, so you can dive back into the seasonal chaos between now and November.

If you've played Crimson Harvest before, you'll recognize some of the returning activities that made the event a hit in past years. But CCP isn't just recycling old content — there are new rewards on the table this time around, giving veteran capsuleers a reason to jump back in and newcomers a perfect excuse to see what all the fuss is about.

The event runs from now until sometime in November, so you've got a solid window to earn whatever goodies are up for grabs. If you're the type who likes to plan your gaming schedule, now's the time to block out some sessions before the event wraps up.

That's not the only news coming out of New Eden, either. CCP Games has also named its CSM 21 candidates — that's the Council of Stellar Management, the player-elected body that gives the community a direct line to the developers. If you follow EVE's player politics, this is the moment to start paying attention to who's throwing their name in the ring.

The CSM plays a real role in shaping how EVE evolves, so the candidate list is always worth a look if you care about where the game is headed. Whether you're a longtime voter or someone who's never engaged with the council before, this is your chance to see who's stepping up to represent players.

So whether you're here for the Halloween loot, the player politics, or both, EVE Online has plenty going on right now. The Crimson Harvest won't stick around forever, and the CSM race is just getting started.

Will you be jumping into Crimson Harvest this year, or are you more focused on following the CSM 21 candidates? Let us know what you're most excited about!
