CCP Games, which acquired White Wolf back in 2006 (see “CCP and White Wolf to Merge”), has finally announced the long-hinted online game based on White Wolf’s World of Darkness universe.  The Vampire:  The Masquerade MMO game was announced at the company’s Grand Masquerade event (see “Gen Con Photos, Part 2”) in New Orleans last weekend.  But even after the long wait for the announcement the release date is still two years away; the game is promised for 2012. 

Only a few details were announced, including the news that the game will focus on player politics and social interaction. 

White Wolf’s paper game output for the World of Darkness property has shrunk significantly, although the company has expanded its PDF release schedule.
