Hi guys
we have a few Cisco asa firewalls as they are great at vpn.
when will Cisco EOL the asa? And does the firepower device give you all the same options for vpn that the asa did?
cheers

You have to differentiate between the ASA hardware platform and the ASA software. The complete line of ASA hardware is EOL announced. If you are running the hardware you can search for "ASA model + EOL" and you'll find the EOL announcement.
The ASA software is a different thing. This is still under development and if you buy a new Firepower appliance, you still can run the ASA software on it. But from FTD version 6.7, at least I do not miss any of the VPN-features any more. It seems to be more or less feature complete. But you should look at the latest config guide if there is a feature missing that you need.

adding to another post - depends on model check below :
yes FTD gives you all the features#(most) that ASA can do ( but managing with FDM vs FMC is differs)
