Submission + - CCP and White Wolf to Merge
Evod writes: Crowd Control Productions, maker of the MMORPG EVE Online, announced today at their annual fanfest in Reychavik, Iceland that a merger between White Wolf Publishing and themselves is a done deal. From the White Wolf Press Release: "The merged company will enable CCP to integrate White Wolf's leading expertise in offline gaming development to enhance and create physical products for its MMOG, EVE Online. Products to be introduced in 2007 will include strategy guides, enhanced collectable card games, role-playing systems, and novels all based on EVE Online. White Wolf will leverage CCP's industry-leading technologies to bring its offline role-playing titles online. Conceptualization and early development has begun to bring White Wolf's World of Darkness, one of the world's strongest gaming properties, into the online world." Each company will keep its own name and Hilmar Petursson, Chief Executive Officer of CCP, will step up as CEO of the merged companies.
