For Icelandic EVE Online developer CCP, Project Nova was a long time coming. Ever since the attempt to break into the shooter market in 2013 with Dust 514, CCP has been chasing the genre.
Two years ago they unveiled Project Nova with a brief hands-on period at Fanfest, then promptly put it back on ice. With the help of UK studio Sumo Digital, it’s very much a reality, heading into a private alpha next month.
I spoke to several key figures at EVE Vegas about what Project Nova is trying to accomplish, as well as the battle royale-sized elephant in the room.
