CCP Games Announces EVE: Valkyrie
New Virtual Reality Multiplayer Spaceship Dogfighting Shooter to Launch Next Year
Cologne, Germany August 21, 2013 CCP Games, the leading independent developer of massively multiplayer online games, today announced it has begun development of EVE: Valkyrie, a multiplayer spaceship dogfighting shooter set in the EVE Universe. The game uses virtual reality to give players the sense of being a real pilot in an EVE Online spaceship and will be released in 2014.
EVE: Valkyrie is the evolution of EVE-VR, the amazing virtual reality tech demo that debuted at EVE Fanfest 2013 and went on to win numerous awards at E3 2013 including Game of E3 2013 by PC Gamer and Most Innovative by IGN. The game will be developed at the companys Newcastle studio.
From the moment this year’s Fanfest attendees first got their hands on EVE-VR, the question has been, When can I have this?, said Hilmar Veigar Ptursson, CEO of CCP. What started as a passion project by a small, incredibly talented group of CCP developers became one of the most highly anticipated games of the year before we even announced it. We have big plans for EVE: Valkyrie and I cant wait to share more details later this year.
