Project Awakening will take place on a single shard set in the same universe as EVE Online.
CCP Games, developer and publisher of EVE Online, has finally released new information about the highly anticipated upcoming blockchain game “Project Awakening.”
According to a pair of March 13 posts on the game’s official website, the next Project Awakening playtest/hackathon will take place on May 21. Signups for the closed beta are currently live as of the time of this article’s publication.
The posts also gave us our first glimpse at details surrounding the game world and its lore. Per CCP Project Awakening will be a single-shard survival experience — meaning gamers won’t be split across instances. It’s set in “the dark expanse of space where civilization has decayed in the ruin of its own ambition.” Gameplay will purportedly revolve around survival, rebuilding a “broken world,” and combat.
