CCP in 2010, World of Darkness MMO Mini Preview

While speculating as to what CCP has planned for us in 2010, the folks at MMORPG.com have summed up what we know so far about their World of Darkness MMORPG.
World of Darkness is the goth child that CCP and White Wolf spawned back in 2006. The merger was quite exciting for fans of both sci-fi and horror genres and the potential of games threw the internets into a frenzy. Now here we are nearing 2010 and World of Darkness still remains in development. There has not been much news on the game lately but plenty of MMO fans have been waiting for a solid horror themed game to hit the market. With vampires infesting every aspect of popular culture lately there certainly is a market for a game of this magnitude. What will CCP reveal in 2010 about World of Darkness? Well, we can only hope that at the very least the company begins to leak some kind of new information. CCP has kept it under wraps for years now, almost to the point of fans forgetting that this game is still technically in development.

With the popularity of the genre right now World of Darkness, if done well, could be the break out success that the MMO industry needs. Gothic horror fights between werewolves and vampires with all other goodies thrown into the mix has proven to be a big seller on the market. With the endless stream of casual Asian MMOs flooding the market, it will be a relief to see something dark and mature hit the industry with some awesome vampiric power. The game was originally slated to launch in 2010, however with very little news out there, we cannot expect this report to be true. Still, CCP can surprise you and there is no telling what FanFest 2010 will hold for players.
