EVE developer CCP games announced last year it was working on a blockchain-based game set in the space MMO's universe, codenamed Project Awakening, and has now revealed the first details and an upcoming playtest. The Icelandic studio rather boldly says this is the next step in its quest to "create virtual worlds more meaningful than real life." Goodbye to my children: I love you but you really oughta try this new CCP joint.
Project Awakening is a "single-shard survival experience" and seems to share a lot of DNA with EVE's principles: player freedom, consequences, and "a universe that will evolve from the actions and efforts of its players." It is unsurprisingly set in space, "where civilization has decayed in the ruin of its own ambition", and promises a hostile cosmos in which players have to survive and rebuild.
