A bit more detail on the White Wolf/CCP merge |
Ó
We've reported on the merger before, and we have stated that it's obvious to expect offline hobby based incarnations of CCP games' EVE Online, courtesy of the tabletop people from White Wolf. Well, here's a bit more detail on that off line possibility.MMORPG.com reports that recently, CCP games has released a CCG version of EVE Online. CCP America/White Wolf announced that the CCG is just the beginning. North American hobby shops should eventually be full of CCGs, pen-and-paper RPGs, and other collectible hobby products that tie back to EVE Online.
It's good to see the EVE Online world spread onto other areas of gaming. What this writer is personally hoping to see is the White Wolf flagship – the World of Darkness – move into the MMO scene. Given EVE's reputation, it seems safe to say that the EVE Online people have the right pedigree to create a proper MMO version of the World of Darkness (Vampire: The Masquerade, Werewolf: The Apocalypse, Mage: The Ascension, Something: the Something... you get the idea).
EVE Online marketing entity Magnus Bergsson, says that the two companies work very well together. White Wolf is good at the things CCP is not: storytelling, product distribution and alternative avenues to expand IPs. CCP excels where White Wolf does not: creation of technically excellent online universes.
We all certainly hope that both companies achieve great things and expand both their major intellectual properties where they could not otherwise have gone.
