Everything had to be created from scratch for PS3. The team has been able to get to work quicker than on Dust because it's both more experienced now and much of the world already exists on PC, in Eve. 'It's almost more a revolution than an evolution, and that's why we're calling it Project Legion, because it's, frankly, more like a new game.'

It's already 'significantly different' to Dust, he said. 'It's taking all we learned from Dust and almost making a new game from scratch, even though it's the same team doing a first-person shooter, so they're very experienced now. It's 'a new approach to being a mercenary on the ground', CCP CEO Hilmar Veigar Pétursson told Eurogamer. ORIGINAL STORY 2.30PM BST: Eve Online developer CCP has announced a new game called Project Legion, a re-imagining of PlayStation 3 online multiplayer shooter Dust 514 for PC. The CCP Shanghai studio numbers 60 people, who ebb and flow between projects as and when they're needed, making it hard to nail down specific team sizes. It's at least a year away, I believe.ĭust won't suffer while Legion is developed, and has its own future plans. He couldn't share any solid timelines for the project but re-emphasised how early into development - a few months - it was. UPDATE 5.30PM BST: Jean-Charles Gaudechon told Eurogamer that Project Legion is being designed as a free-to-play game like Dust 514.
