EVE Online developers CCP have tried to establish several spin-off projects over the years—Project Nova is the most recent—and it seems that the studio is not ready to give up quite yet.

EVE Online has been going now for 16 years and with a firm playerbase, there are only a handful of games that can rival its longevity. So it's really no surprise that creators, CCP have attempted various spin-offs in that time. What is surprising is that they're not at all ready to stop trying and will keep going until they "get it right."
