CCP, the developers of enormous space MMO Eve Online, has been acquired by the team behind Black Desert Online, Pearl Abyss. The announcement came in a press release issued earlier this morning.
CCP has been working on Eve Online since the game launched in 2003. The sheer complexity and scale of the game means that some of its inner working can be confusing from the outside looking in. That said, the stories of politics, subterfuge, and war that the game and its players generate make Eve into one of the most intriguing MMOs out there.
Pearl Abyss released Black Desert Online, its open-world medieval RPG, in 2014. The game has continued to grow since then, with a mobile launch taking place earlier this year. According to the press release, the deal between the two companies states that “CCP games will continue to operate independently as a developer” in all of its three studios. The intention seems to be that Pearl Abyss will be able to benefit from CCP’s long-term experience in developing MMOs to help expand their game.
