CCP Games Partners With Sperasoft On A New EVE IP Online Shooter
Over the past months and years, there have been reports that CCP Games is working on a new online multiplayer game. CCP Games CEO Hilmar Petursson himself confirmed the reports in a short interview with Newsweek back in August. “We are developing a new online sci-fi shooter game and are planning to market it in the upcoming years,” said Petursson during the interview.
A recent press release also confirmed the new shooter’s existence but is a little short details following Petursson’s decision to avoid revealing project codenames until the game is actually ready for a full reveal when Project Nova was cancelled back in 2018. What we do know is that the game will be set in the EVE universe and is being developed in partnership with multi-national development studio, Sperasoft.
“CCP Games, best known for the spacefaring massively multiplayer online (MMO) game EVE Online, has partnered with Sperasoft, a specialized game development company, to launch an unannounced online shooter set in the EVE IP. EVE Online has immersed space pioneers into the depths of the intergalactic for 17 years. EVE players are free to forge their own path and take up a variety of in-game professions ranging from exploration, trading, piracy, and much more across a vast solar system. The partnership with Sperasoft will assist CCP in delivering a stunning, action-oriented shooter that fits within the EVE universe.”
The partnership is in line with Petursson’s vision of expanding deeply and more broadly in each region.
“We are excited to be a partner of CCP Games and share in their mission to create immersive virtual worlds,” said Sperasoft Chief Commercial Officer Denis Larkin. “Our experienced team of developers is focused on delivering cutting edge solutions for our client and gameplay innovations for their fans.”
“We’re delighted to be working with Sperasoft on our unannounced online shooter set in the EVE IP,” said CCP Games London Game Director Allen Edwards. “Together, we’re looking forward to delivering a rock-solid, action-oriented gameplay experience with stunningly beautiful worlds.”
