An Interview With The Creator Of EVE Online About Its New Multiplayer FPS Which Doesn't Exist But Does

thegamer.com:

In 2013, CCP Games launched Dust 514, a multiplayer FPS set in the EVE Online universe. Released exclusively for the PS3, it was a fairly standard online shooter, but with some intriguing links to the developer's long-running space MMO—including letting EVE pilots on PC call in orbital strikes to help Dust players on the ground below.

In 2014, CCP revealed Project Legion: an attempt to bring Dust 514 to PC and expand on its connectivity with EVE Online. That project never materialised, however. Then the studio announced another FPS project in 2016, Project Nova, which I played an early prototype of. It reminded me a lot of classic, fast-paced shooters like Quake 3.

Now in 2022, CCP is trying its hand at the FPS genre again. At this year's EVE Fanfest—a celebration of all things EVE held in CCP's home of Reykjavík, Iceland—the company revealed that it was once again trying to combine multiplayer shooting and EVE's far future setting, New Eden. But this project doesn't even have a name.

In fact, the official CCP line is that the game is unannounced—despite everyone at Fanfest being told it exists, and a sprinkle of supporting material including a bare-bones FAQ and some concept art. It exists, but it doesn't. Nevertheless, I sat down with CCP London's Adrian Blunt and tried my damndest to get some concrete information.

"We've made a very conscious decision not to talk about the game until we can show it," he says, in the first of several short, to the point answers about the game. "We want it to be fleshed out so we can really talk about it and share it with the world. We're chomping at the bit to be able to do that, but we're holding fast until then."
