CCP files "Dust 514" trademark News

Wii PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 MMO
News by Oli Welsh

5 August, 2009

Massively reports that EVE Online developer CCP has filed a trademark for "Dust 514" relating to "entertainment services" and an "online computer game".

The Dust 514 logo shows a gas mask set into a winged badge. The style has passing similarities to the EVE Online logo - indeed the stripes of the badge, with a V at the centre, could almost be said to read "EVE".

CCP boss Hilmar Petursson will announce the developer's "latest project" during a speech at GDC Europe, on Tuesday 18th ahead of the Cologne gamescom this month.

Furthermore, at last year's Fanfest convention, CCP showed footage of a sci-fi FPS that appeared to be set in the EVE universe, and mentioned that the company had a "console strategy" for PS3 and Xbox 360. The Dust 514 logo certainly seems consistent with this idea.

CCP is also working on a dark contemporary horror MMO based on the World of Darkness table-top RPGs.

We'll know more about CCP's plans in a couple of weeks, so stay tuned.

Don't diss Eve Online and I won't diss your World of Failcraft :P

I wonder what the storyline would be for the FPS. And what would Dust 514 mean? Colony? Spacecraft? Military unit? Or maybe it is the new cologne whereas you play as someone trying to acquire the best blueprints for it. Seriously, it's a cologne.
