EVE Online developer CCP Games has announced that development on its EVE-inspired multiplayer shooter Project Nova will not continue in its current form. Instead, CCP will now “take a step back and return to the drawing board”.
Project Nova was first announced in 2016, as a spiritual successor to CCP’s long-defunct PS3 free-to-play shooter Dust 514. CCP remained largely tightlipped about the game, which was being co-developed by Sumo Digital, until earlier this year.
In October, CCP finally shared some solid information on Project Nova, revealing that the sci-fi shooter would combine “tactical co-op PvE and explosive PvP modes, with a strong emphasis on mastery and strategy”. It also unveiled a new teaser trailer, released first gameplay footage, and opened registration for an invite-only alpha to be held in November.
