As announced at the Fanfest and in a tandem Press Release, CCP and White Wolf are merging. CCP have now given additional detail in the form of a forum post on the official forums. Excerpt:

White Wolf will be forging ahead with their talents for the future production of an EVE Online based traditional RPG and table top starship combat games, as well as miniatures (and there was much rejoicing!), comics, graphic novels, etc.

CCP will continue to expand the number of developers in CCP and in the near future begin production on a to be announced MMOG based on White Wolf's World of Darkness RPG setting. While we will be able to use some of the technologies I mentioned earlier, this game is still a number of years from alpha, let alone release.

In other news, this week's Chronicle, The Shrinking Skin, is out, and focuses mostly on the upcoming "Invention" feature in Kali 1 (Revelations).
