World of Darkness Articles
Paradox Interactive's investor report contains a couple of very interesting snips of information for fans of both World of Darkness and Vampire: The Masquerade. CEO Fredrik Wester wrote that both IPs will "step up their visibility in the market by organizing community activities" and more. For World of Darkness, Wester said that "progress is being made with White Wolf Entertainment's efforts to develop" the game. A new fifth edition board game will be launched for Vampire: the Masquerade.
White Wolf has partnered with Earplay to bring World of Darkness to a new interactive experience. The story, penned by Dave Grossman and Richard Dansky, will see a teaser episode released, called "The Orpheus Device".
White Wolf CEO Tobias Sjögren and Lead Storyteller Martin Elricsson took to the stage in a recent fan event to lay out plans for the future of the World of Darkness IP. According to the pair, the IP is alive and well with big plans for the coming years. Of special note is that a new computer RPG is in the works, perhaps building on assets reclaimed from CCP Games after WoD MMO was canceled in 2014.
In an interview with the new CEO of White Wolf Publishing, purchased from CCP by Paradox Interactive earlier this week, Tobias Sjögren told MMORPG.com that Paradox has indeed acquired all of the code and work done on World of Darkness before development was halted by CCP last year.
Paradox has confirmed that it has purchased White Wolf and all properties from CCP, developers of EVE Online. This includes both World of Darkness and Vampire: The Masquerade. While nothing has yet been said beyond the confirmation of the buyout, it is possible that this could lead to a revival of WoD and new life for the Vampire series.
According to a new investigative piece at TheGuardian.com, CCP's mismanagement of the development of World of Darkness eventually brought about the game's demise. Development on World of Darkness, after years in production, ended this past Spring to the dismay of many in the MMO games community.
It will be with painful thoughts that fans of World of Darkness check out the leaked images from the now-cancelled title by CCP Games. Rock, Paper, Shotgun is showcasing several screenshots and other information about the game.
CCP Games has announced the cessation of production on World of Darkness. As a result of the stoppage, over fifty employees in CCP's Atlanta-based studio have lost their jobs. Remaining staff will be assigned to other positions on existing titles.
World of Darkness fans may end up having to wait longer for the game to see the light of day thanks to a round of layoffs at the CCP Games-Atlanta (USA) office. Fifteen employees have been let go according to a statement from CCP.
World of Darkness Senior Producer Chris McDonough stopped by the WoD News fansite to speak to player concerns about recent layoffs at CCP and the effect those redundancies would have on the development of the game.
In a new interview, CCP's Helmar Petursson reveals that the development of World of Darkness will indeed continue albeit at a slower pace once the current round of layoffs at the company is complete.
