Vampyr-onlinerollspelet World of Darkness nedlagt

Eve Online-studion CCP Games har under de senaste sex (!) åren arbetat hårt på ett ultraambitiöst onlinerollspel som skulle kretsa kring vampyrer i en massiv, levande, mörk next gen-stad. Enligt rykten var det 60 personer som under dessa år bränt upp cirka 200 miljoner kronor i utvecklingsbudget på ett spel som nu lagts ned. Det blir inget World of Darkness, istället tänker CCP Games satsa ännu mer på Eve Online.

Såhär skriver studio-chefen Hilmar Veigar Pétursson på utvecklarnas egen hemsida:
"The decision to end the World of Darkness-project is one of the hardest I've ever had to make. I have always loved and valued the idea of a sandbox experience set in that universe, and over the years I've watched the team passionately strive to make that possible. To our current and former employees and fans of World of Darkness, I am truly sorry that we could not deliver the experience that we aspired to make. We dreamed of a game that would transport you completely into the sweeping fantasy of World of Darkness, but had to admit that our efforts were falling regretfully short. One day I hope we will make it up to you."
