Reports suggest that Pearl Abyss, the parent company of CCP Games, is considering selling the developer of EVE Online due to financial losses and unsuccessful ventures, despite the game's dedicated community and ongoing battles. The sale could involve interest from various game publishers, but no specifics have been disclosed.
Pearl Abyss, the South Korean game developer that acquired CCP Games and EVE Online in 2018 for around $425 million, is reportedly considering selling CCP Games, possibly due to strategic missteps and dissatisfaction with recent projects like EVE: Frontier and Vanguard. The company has allegedly reached out to other game firms to gauge interest in acquiring CCP, aiming to focus on its own titles such as Crimson Desert and DokeV.
CCP Games, the developers of EVE Online, are attempting to create a first-person shooter called EVE Vanguard set in the same universe. Vanguard is a PvPvE shooter that connects to EVE Online, where players fight computer-controlled enemies to secure an item that other players can steal. This is CCP's fourth attempt at creating a shooter set in the EVE universe, following the unsuccessful releases of Dust 514, Project Legion, and Project Nova. CCP hopes to launch Vanguard into beta in December.
CCP Games has launched the first-ever native Excel add-in for a video game, allowing players of sci-fi MMO Eve Online to manage their space assets with spreadsheets. The Excel add-in is free to use for all players and uses Eve's API to import player data. The add-in includes asset overview, manufacturing profits calculations, and market overviews. The collaboration between CCP Games and Microsoft was a "very natural fit", according to Eve Online creative director Bergur Finnbogason.
