CCP Games' Newcastle studio, that has been acquired by Sumo Digital a good while ago, and publisher Focus Home Interactive are officially working on a brand-new multiplayer-focused video game.
As revealed in the official press release regarding that strategic partnership between both studios:
"Focus Home Interactive is pleased to welcome Sumo Digital among its new partner studios, one of the UK’s largest independent development studios. Sumo Digital is a studio with long experience, and has worked with the biggest names in the industry, such as Sony, Microsoft, and Sega. The first fruit of this collaboration will offer an uncompromising multiplayer experience, in a world as dark as violent, and will be developed by Sumo Newcastle, the team to which we owe EVE: Valkyrie."
Considering that Sumo Digital has recently been a pretty busy studio (they co-developed Crackdown 3, Snake Pass, and the Hitman reboot, with Dead Island 2 and CCP's Project Nova on the horizon), the publisher’s investment in Sumo’s mysterious online-focused title will definitely take some pressure off their staff. Given that Valkyrie was a VR title at launch, there's a big chance that the new title will make good use of PlayStation VR, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and other currently available VR devices. Take a look:
EVE: Valkyrie – Warzone is a first-person spaceship shooter that brings VR-quality immersion to PC and PlayStation 4 in a new expansion – without the need for a virtual reality headset.
EVE: Valkyrie is available for PlayStation 4 and PC NOW!
