World of Darkness MMO an unfortunate casualty of latest round of CCP layoffs

CCP’s CEO, Hilmar Veigar Petursson, announced on the publisher’s home page that the World of Darkness massively multiplayer online game, based off of White Wolf’s wildly popular line of horror-themed tabletop games, has been canceled.

The company is also letting go of 56 employees from the Atlanta-based studio. Those that have survived the cut will be shuffled into other projects based on the publisher’s Eve gaming properties.
