It's about that time of the year, when Fanfest is almost upon us.

As you can see from the image above, Bam Stroker is incredibly excited to be escaping one island for another, as the time for the epic celebration of all things New Eden approaches.

He was even happier when he saw the amazing artwork we have for Fanfest this year. Please feel free to download it and use it as a desktop or social media background at will!

This year, we're pushing out the schedule a little bit earlier in digital form, so you can download it right now by grabbing the Guidebook app for your mobile device, which is available for both Android and iOS. Simply enter the redemption code "EVEFANFEST2017" and you'll be able to download the schedule directly via the app, and plan the sessions you'd like to attend.

For those of you travelling from outside the EU, fear not – Harpa will be equipped with free Wi-Fi for all Fanfest 2017 attendees, so you’ll be able to access Guidebook at the venue even if your roaming data services don’t work in Iceland.

If you'd rather look at the schedule in web form, you can do so here.

There's also a pretty detailed Devblog out there that's just been released, and charts most of the major events at Fanfest 2017. You can check it out here!

Roll on Fanfest, we're looking forward to seeing you all there! If you haven't already picked up your tickets, there's still time to do so here!
