CCP GamesはPearl Abyssから独立し、Fenris Creationsとして運営を開始した。この社名変更は、Eve Onlineの世界観を活用してAIを推進するGoogle DeepMindとの1億2,000万ドルの研究パートナーシップに合わせて行われた。
長年運営されている宇宙MMOの開発元である同社は、DeepMindによる当初の提携発表から数日後の金曜日に、この体制移行を明らかにした。現在、Googleを含む経営陣と投資家がスタジオを支配している。同社によると、この構造は永続的なオンライン世界の意思決定や長期的なゲーム運営をサポートすることを目的としている。このパートナーシップにより、DeepMindはライブゲームに影響を与えることなく、隔離されたオフラインサーバー上でプレイヤーの行動を研究できるようになる。
