CCP hopes to capture what makes Eve Online special with new mobile game

CCP Games unveiled Project Aurora today. It’s a new massively multiplayer online game on mobile that will roll out to a few countries later this year, with a full launch planned for 2018 for iOS and Android.

To develop Project Aurora, CCP teamed up with PlayRaven, which developed mobile strategy titles such as Winterstate and Spymaster. CCP, of course, is well known for the Eve Online which was a MMORPG trailblazer when it launched 14 years ago in 2003. Though Project Aurora takes cues from Eve Online, the two will not be set in the same universe.
