SF MMORPG「EVE Online」のパッチ Revelations 1.4が，3月20日（現地時間）にリリースされた。このパッチでは，ゲーム全体のバランス調整が行われており，コントラクトシステムのアップグレード，インタフェースの修正など，さまざまな部分が変更されている。
GDC 2007の取材では，サポートも日本語で行う予定があるということだったので，パッチの概要も日本語化されることを期待しつつ，詳細を下に引用したリリース文（英語）で確認しよう。
また，今回のパッチで行われた日本語化は，イントロムービーやキャラクター作成といった部分で，それほど大きな進展はないという。日本語化は，今後リリースされる小さなパッチで少しずつ進んでいき，Revelations 2で完成する予定とのことだ。（noguchi）
