@Dominic White: Well, they posted that chronicle at the eve online front-page, like they do with all their new ones. But still, this could sure be the setting (or one of them) for the new game. Altough I’m still hoping for some sort of real-time interaction between Eve and Dust (i.e. invading planets and stations etc.) :)

@paddy – good find, and that story probably gives the setting for the new game. A colony world between borders in imperial space. I would have hoped for a more open approach, but a single world to fight over does make more sense than spreading the groundpounders out over a whole galaxy.

Im such a CCP fanboy tbh. I suspect its to do with with the shooter thing they showed at last fanfest. Also given the latest chronicle (fluff) http://www.eveonline.com/background/potw/default.asp?cid=27-07-09 possibly a Factional Warfare link to it. Or something.

Colour me excited.

“Needless to say, if CCP do end up making a post-apocalyptic PvP-focused MMO, my life will be ruined.”

Sorry to burst everyone’s bubble but I just signed a deal a while back to develope a game called Dust 514 with CPP but it isn’t what you think. It is the first ever Extreme dusting simulator with hardcore feather duster physics and unlockable sexy french made outfits.

I would be surprised if CCP wanted to generate entirely new IP. The logo strongly suggests a tie-in with the existing Eve universe. Something on the planets, finally? It would make a change from flying through them.

@Matt
Yeah..well..at least there once was a time when it was better than it is now. Which didn’t make it great. But heck, the world needs more (good) cyberpunk games. Post apocalyptic and or cyberpunk stuff makes me happy.

A Trinity project is highly improbable. I know the setting and there’s not much that could relate to the logo or the name. It is neither grimdark nor post-apocalyptic. Also, CCP already have a sci fi setting, they would be insane to start a new one now, which is less known in the computer scene and discontinued in the PnP scene.
As CCP have shown Eurogamer some footage of an ego shooter in the EVE universe, it’ll probably be that.

I reckon CCP should just give up on development and start asserting its rights over trademarks such as Eve and Dust.

That’s the kind of activity that promotes innovation in the games industry.
