"Dust 514&amp;#039;s open beta launches on January 22, it has been announced. The PS3 exclusive enters open beta following the merger of the Dust 514 and EVE Online servers last week.   The free-to-play shooter enables players to take part in real-time campaigns within the EVE universe. Users of both titles will be able to trade, attack and interact with one another. &amp;quot;The launch of the Dust 514 Open Beta is another step towards our long-term vision for CCP and EVE,&amp;quot; said CCP CEO Hilmar Veigar P\u00E9tursson.  &amp;quot;But this is just the beginning. As we have done with EVE Online, in the coming weeks, and for years to come, we will continually improve upon and add to the Dust 514 experience, as well as add deeper integration between the two games and their communities,&amp;quot; he added. Closed beta testing began in May with the first invites sent out to EVE players and attendees of the Fanfest convention in Iceland. Users can currently purchase the Dust 514 &amp;#039;Mercenary Pack&amp;#039; from the PlayStation Store, which provides in-game funds and items that can be used in the game. &amp;gt; Read our preview of Dust 514 &amp;gt; Read our Dust 514 interview with CCP Games &amp;gt; EVE Online: Inferno expansion to launch in May Watch the trailer for Dust 514 below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
