CCP CEO Hilmar Veigar Pétursson:
The decision to end the World of Darkness MMO project is one of the most difficult I have ever had to make. I have always loved and appreciated the idea of a sandbox experience set in this universe, and over the years, I have watched the team become passionate about making it possible.
I would especially like to thank everyone who worked so hard to make the World of Darkness MMO a reality, particularly the team members affected by this decision. Their considerable contributions to CCP will not be forgotten, and we wish them well.
To our current and former employees and fans of World of Darkness, I am truly sorry that we could not deliver the experience we aspired to create. We dreamed of a game that would fully transport you into the sweeping fantasy of World of Darkness, but had to admit, regrettably, that our efforts fell short. One day, I hope we can make it up to you.
Although this was a difficult decision that affects our friends and family, uniting the company behind the EVE universe will put us in a stronger position going forward, and we are more determined than ever to establish EVE as the greatest gaming universe in the world.

World of Darkness Will Never See the Light of Day
CCP Games announced today that it had cancelled the World of Darkness massively multiplayer online (MMO) game project, which was in development at its studio in Atlanta, GA.
Following this change, 56 employees at the Atlanta studio lost their jobs. Some team members were offered roles on other projects within the company, and CCP provided severance packages and placement assistance for those affected.
The team remaining in Atlanta will focus on games set in the EVE universe, marking the first time since 2006 that the entirety of CCP will be working on a single universe.
