CCP Games has announced that it will be developing a television show based on Eve Online in partnership with director Baltasar Kormakur (Contraband, The Deep). Users of the MMO can submit their own stories that will be the basis of the TV show and a comic book from Dark Horse.
“The inhabitants of the notorious and beloved Eve Universe have ten years’ worth of dramatic stories to tell,” said CCP chief executive officer Hilmar Veigar Petursson. “Our close collaboration with Baltasar and his creative team gives me confidence that we will capture Eve’s essence, inspiring millions of TV viewers with visions of humanity’s future.”
“It’s going to take everything we’ve got to capture the amazing visuals and rich history of the Eve Universe in a single volume,” said Dark Horse editor Dave Marshall. “As we fill it with material from Eve Online‘s stellar space combat to the ‘boots on the ground’ action of Dust 514’s planetary conflicts, Eve: Source is shaping up to be one of the most stunning books we’ve ever published.”
Eve Online players are encouraged to submit their own tales at TrueStories.EveOnline.com.
