The PlayStation 3-exclusive shooter Dust 514 is getting a reimagining on the PC as an all new game called Project Legion, developer CCP announced today at the EVE Fanfest event. Rather than simply porting the game over, CCP is creating something new with assets currently used for Dust 514.
According to CCP boss Hilmar Veigar Petursson, the game is “a new approach to being a mercenary on the ground.”
“It’s almost that experience made anew,” 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. And we’ve made good headway on it.
“[It'] significantly different. 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.”
The game has only been announced for the PC, but may see release on consoles depending on the public’s reception during EVE Fanfest. We'll provide you with further details about the game as information becomes available.
