Hands-on: CCP's Project Nova melds fast-action gunplay with EVE Online's universe

Reykjavík, Iceland—Project Legion, we hardly even knew ye’. The PC-centric first-person shooter CCP unofficially-officially announced two years ago is now unofficially-officially dead. Not that you’d necessarily notice, because a new PC-centric first-person shooter has stepped in to fill its shoes. Thursday at EVE Fanfest 2016, CCP unofficially-officially announced “Project Nova.” It’s the heir-apparent to Project Legion, which itself was the successor to almost-dead-PS3-exclusive Dust 514. The broad strokes are pretty similar. Project Nova is a free-to-play shooter that draws from the EVE Online universe, set in a future New Eden. It’s hard to say how much that will actually factor into the game because, you know, multiplayer shooter. But I expect it’ll be similar to EVE Valkyrie, which used the lore for flavor, mostly.
