“It is such an unprecedented thing that we’re going to try and fail and try again,” he advised the viewers. “For just a few extra years till we crack it. At CCP we preserve at it till we determine it out.
One of the EVE Online spin-offs that’s nonetheless in growth is EVE Echoes, a brand new cell undertaking with Netease. This bold undertaking goals to convey your complete EVE Online expertise to cell handsets, and Pétursson reckons Echoes’ present state is so superior it “boggles the thoughts”.

EVE Echoes shall be a worldwide launch. Provided it doesn’t get canned.
