CCP, developers of probably the biggest MMO game currently on the market have announced that they are planning to bring a game to the console market. The game will be named DUST 514 and is a hybrid between a MMO and a FPS.
The most interesting thing is that CCP is planning to create an interplay between EvE Online and DUST 514. The two games will open the EVE universe to console gamers and gives them a chance to become part of one of the most massive cooperative play.
Since opening our Shanghai studio, we have invested in building a team that wants to push the envelope in gaming and be pioneers in the industry. Having led the design and development efforts of the project from start to finish, our studio is honored to call DUST 514 our first title release
The game which is currently in it’s third year of production, is the primary development focus of CCP’s Shanghai studio. The team includes veteran designers of EVE Online and experienced talent from various sectors of the video game industry.
The primary gameplay of DUST 514 features brutal ground combat that takes place on the surface of planets from EVE, delivering the visceral, adrenaline-fueled experience of futuristic firefights. Developed for the current generation of consoles, DUST 514 combines equal parts battlefield reflexes and strategic planning, giving commanders and ground infantry real-time configurable weapons and modular vehicles to manage dynamic battlefield conditions.
Our success with EVE Online has afforded us the highest caliber global design and production talent in gaming. With a team of the best minds in the industry, we conceived an ambitious new take on virtual world development with DUST 514
Expect further details on the game during the CCP Fanfest from October 1st till the 3rd in Iceland.
