Iconic MMORPG EVE Online have broken their own Guinness World Records.

During an epic 14-hour battle known as Fury at FWST-8, the Imperium fought against PAPI and destroyed their Keepstar. Announced today, this war broke the world records for largest multiplayer video game PvP battle (8,825 players) and most concurrent participants in a multiplayer video game PvP battle (6,557 participants). EVE Online previously broke these records during 2014’s Bloodbath of B-R5RB and 2018’s Siege of 9-4RP2. Video from the event can be seen below.

When it comes to the massive battle, CCP Games CEO Hilmar V. Pétursson said:

“EVE Online is no stranger to massive in-game conflicts. Every time a big battle breaks out or our community comes together for a cause, it’s always a sight to behold. CCP may have created EVE Online, but it’s our community who built the universe of New Eden. Their ingenuity created the impressive logistics networks, both in-game and in the real-world, to field such a high volume of ships in one battle. Our players deserve all the credit that made these record-breaking achievements possible. Their support and dedication are what makes EVE Online the game that it is today.”
