"Bad Moon Rising" is CCR, not CCP: this is "Red... Red Moon Rising!"



CCP has announced the
release of EVE Online: Red Moon Rising, a free expansion to the popular
sci-fi MMOG.  Red Moon Rising will be available in December. 
 

"CCP Games, an independent developer and publisher of
massively
multiplayer online games, today announced the public release of "EVE
Online®: Red Moon Rising”, a new expansion to its highly successful
and
fast-growing Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG)
“EVE Online®: Exodus”. Red Moon Rising is scheduled for release
this
December, and will be provided to subscribers free of charge.



“Red Moon Rising is the last of the EXODUS chapters and is the
precursor of the Kali expansion," said Magnus Bergsson, CMO of CCP
Games. “Players will see new ships and features in Red Moon Rising
created explicitly to augment warfare, so those who crave the
adrenaline rush of action-packed PVP will really enjoy this release!”



With nearly 80,000 active subscribers and over 17,000 simultaneous
users on one server, “EVE Online” is the largest independently
developed and published MMORPG on the market.



“The introduction of these new components is analogous to adding rooks,
knights, and the mighty queen to a galactic chessboard,” said Nathan
Richardsson, Lead Producer for EVE Online. “Fighters, carriers, and
titans are going to take combat to a scale that the MMPORG genre has
never seen before. In addition, the sheer economics required just to
produce these leviathans will create great opportunities for
industrious-minded gamers to take advantage of.”



EVE Online®: Red Moon Rising is the march towards an epic clash
between
the empires as the tentative peace presiding over the galaxy continues
to slip away. Nations begin to conspire against one another, secretly
preparing for the inevitable conflict that threatens to redefine the
borderlines of EVE forever.
