VGR: Initially CCP had no intention of moving forward with EVR and was thought of as a tech demo more than anything. It was made by a small group who works on DUST 514 and EVE Online respectively, and are given 20% to work on side projects. After all the publicity so far, some of the team only had this to say, “We may need to reconsider the future of the project.”
Amid rumors it was looking to sell Eve Online developer CCP Games, Pearl Abyss has given a statement to Insider Gaming.
Game Rant recently spoke with CCP Games CEO Hilmar Veigar Pétursson, who discussed the future of EVE Online's universe and the new player experience.
A brand new PvPvE shooter, EVE: Vanguard, looks to succeed where Dust 514 did not as a candid CCP Games reflects on its 20-year journey.
Dust 514 was such a unique game back in the day. I only played probably 10 hours of it because the balancing was way off, but otherwise it was an interesting idea.
Was a unique idea that was never realized, it didn't go beyond just being and playing like an outdated generic FPS. It never got better, and then they shut it down. If this follows the standard of your typical service style fps then it won't live long either.
