CCP’s ‘Project Aurora’ is Eve: War of Ascension

Eve Online launched back in for PC in 2003, and it’s found a dedicated audience who wants to fly spaceships and deal with the intergalactic politics of megacorps. It even branched into VR with Eve: Valkyrie. But it’s never been small enough to hold in your hand. That’s changing thanks to a new partnership with Kongregate and PlayRaven: Project Aurora is now Eve: War of Ascension, a new MMO for iOS and Android devices coming later this year.

In Eve: War of Ascension, players can form alliances or take on others, which is a beloved feature of the PC MMO, to become “the most powerful corporation in the universe.” Screenshots show that War of Ascension does have ships, hex maps, and what appear to be installations. Players can create their own stories and build alliances, and it will have weekly events and other promotions. Back in October, CCP Games producer Sam Barton told GamesBeat that it wouldn’t have much of a story, but it does have hints to lore, such as searching for relics to open up another part of the galaxy.
