There was no press release from the CCP side of things, but then they cannot even seem to keep up with EVE Online expansions there. The press release from Paradox Interactive is below. (And hopefully nobody is thinking “ LoL with vampires!” We’re past that too now, right?)īut we might get a decent computer RPG some day. I am not sure “ WoW with vampires!” would do any of us any credit. The age of “MMO all the things!” has passed. The phrase “…will pursue development opportunities across relevant categories of game…” is as open ended as one would expect at this stage of things.ĭoes that mean a World of Darkness MMO some day? That still seems pretty doubtful to me. What Paradox will end up doing with White Wolf is less clear. (What fate awaits DUST 514 though, the only “not in space” game in the set?) But we already knew that they were concentrating on the EVE Online universe and related VR titles like Valkyrie and Gunjack. On the Icelandic side of things, this unburdens CCP some and provides them with some additional cash in the bank. Paradox Interactive, the Swedish King of computer strategy games, is buying White Wolf from CCP. And then yesterday there was finally some news. It has been well over a year since we have heard anything substantial. Then, finally, in April of 2014, the 56 people still working on the project were let go and the project was officially terminated by CCP.Īfter that, some tales of the project leaked out to the press, with stories of hitting alpha a few times only to be rejected and a large amount of “borrowing” of assets from the WoD team to support other projects, especially EVE Online.Īnd that is where things were left. Then there was the mysterious asset derecognition in the company books in March of last year that later turned out to be World of Darkness. There were layoffs in 2011 and again in 2013 that directly affected the team working on the project.
