Charismatic Icelandic developer CCP, maker of Eve Online, has been acquired by the South Korean maker of Black Desert Online, Pearl Abyss, in a deal reportedly worth $425m.
CCP will operate independently as a wholly owned subsidiary across studios in Reykjavik (HQ), London and Shanghai, ensuring it will "continue to be free to do what we do best", wrote CCP boss Hilmar Veigar Pétursson in a letter to the Eve Online community. "But now we'll have the support of another tried and tested developer that's proven their own mettle in the complex and challenging field of creating and maintaining virtual worlds."
"As a nerdy Korean MMO maker, Pearl Abyss' company culture is very similar to that of CCP's..." -Hilmar Veigar Pétursson
