During E3 2011 , it was confirmed that '' Dust 514 '' would be released exclusively on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita . A beta would be held before the end of 2011 followed by a release in the summer of 2012 . However , afterward CCP opted to put more work into the game to improve it further and have a release date in 2013 , rather than a 2012 release date .

It was also confirmed after E3 2011 that '' Dust 514 '' utilized Havok middleware technology
