Eve Online developer rebrands as Fenris Creations with new DeepMind deal

Kiswahili

CCP Games has split from Pearl Abyss to operate independently as Fenris Creations. The rebrand coincides with a $120 million research partnership with Google DeepMind to advance AI using the Eve Online universe.

The developer behind the long-running space MMO announced the transition on Friday, days after DeepMind's initial partnership reveal. Senior management and investors, including Google, now control the studio. This structure aims to support decision-making for persistent online worlds and long-term game operations, according to the company. The partnership will let DeepMind study player behavior on isolated offline servers without affecting the live game.
