CDC Games Plans to Launch New Wormhole Expansion Pack for EVE Online in Second Quarter

CDC Games, a business unit of CDC Corporation (NASDAQ: CHINA) and a pioneer of the "free-to-play, pay for merchandise” model for online games in China, announced today it plans to launch an expansion pack for EVE Online, called Wormhole, in the second quarter of this year.

Developed by CCP, EVE Online is a Sci-fi massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) where players pilot their own spaceship and interact with other players in the universe. A wormhole is a hypothetical "tunnel" connecting two different points in spacetime in such a way that a trip through the wormhole could take much less time than a journey between the same starting and ending points in normal space. Following that theme, the Wormhole expansion pack features upgrades in several graphics, redesign of stargates, and significant improvements in the graphics for various weapons and equipment.

The wormhole expansion pack also includes new content such as Orca, an industrial ship, epic quests and enhancement of the T2 transport ships that advance space logistics in the game. A medals system, a certificate system to allow for easier skill planning and a training queue that allows pilots to schedule their skill training for the next 24 hours have all been added to this new version. Players can also manufacture the most advanced T2 tech ship in the EVE universe, called the strategic cruiser.

"We believe that the Wormhole expansion pack for EVE Online offers exciting new content and enhancements that will provide many hours of entertainment for gamers,” said Simon Wong, CEO of CDC Games. "The loyal fans of EVE Online have anxiously awaited this new expansion pack and we expect to see improvements in metrics for this game upon our planned launch in the second quarter.”

"We are excited to deliver this new and exciting expansion pack for EVE Online,” said Hilmar Veigar Pétursson, CEO of CCP. "By leveraging CDC Games’ extensive expertise and games infrastructure in China, we expect this new expansion pack to be well received in this market. We look forward to working with our valued partner, CDC Games, to deliver more updates for EVE Online in the future.”
