A few years ago, CCP Games announced that they will be working with a brand new IP in their MMO iteration of White Wolf’s long running World of Darkness pen-and-paper RPG series. This was welcome news, especially considering they have been working on a single game, EVE Online, since it launched in May 2003.
In a recent interview, the Community Developer for CCP/White Wolf, Shane DeFreest has stated the following regarding plans for their fan event The Grand Masquerade:
This may very well mean that somewhere between September 23-26 we might get our first details on CCP’s only foray into another series in the 13 years since they founded. It’s all very exciting. The amount of funding and experience that CCP has available to pour into this game is reason enough to keep an eye out for World of Darkness news, because if they can do with the fantasy genre what they have done with outer space, we might finally see an original fantasy MMO, as opposed to another World of Warcraft ripoff.
What do you think? I personally don’t know much about the world of World of Darkness, but I have no doubt that CCP Games will polish this title to perfection. In an internet full of dozens and dozens of perfectly acceptable MMOs, are you still able to muster up some excitement for this one?
