CCP Games To Announce New MMO In August

For those of you who like to watch G4TV's MMO Report, you may have heard that CCP Games, the guys who made EVE Online, will be delivering a keynote address at the 2009 Game Developers Conference Europe, and it's titled "CCP: Winning the War." More importantly, they state in their press release that "as a testament to the industry’s potential for growth despite widespread economic turmoil and as an inspiration for up-and-coming independent studios, Petursson will give an exclusive first look at the company’s latest project, which is currently in pre-production." In other words, this means that they may be finally beginning serious development of World of Darkness, an MMORPG based on the universe created by White Wolf, Inc.

You may remember in 2006 when CCP Games merged with White Wolf, Inc. and announced that they were planning to make a World of Darkness MMORPG. To further support the theory that their upcoming MMO will be World of Darkness, in 2008, The Atlantica Journal-Constitution went and visited the CCP Games Headquarters and observed at the end of their tour that "after the release of Eve Online’s expansion in March [2009], the company will focus on creating another multi-player game based on the popular World of Darkness fictional universes created by White Wolf." I guess World of Darkness fans should keep their fingers crossed until August!

I have been awaiting this since CCP announced their merge with White Wolf. I can almost guarantee that the WOD MMOG is what they will announce. If this game is half as good as it should and could be I will be finding a new home online and waiting with anticipation for this one to come out...
