CCP Games, an independent developer and publisher of massively multiplayer online games, announced today the triumphant launch of "EVE Online: Red Moon Rising", a new content upgrade to its highly successful and fast-growing Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) "EVE Online: Exodus".

"We are delighted with how smoothly this update went through" said Magnus Bergsson, CMO of CCP Games. "EVE Online has become the most massive and dynamic playground on the market today with over 100,000 active players all on the same server, so updating such an enormous game universe is no small feat."

In EVE Online: Red Moon Rising, the empires are marching towards the brink of full scale war as the tentative peace presiding over the galaxy continues to slip away. Nations begin to conspire against one another, secretly preparing for the inevitable conflict that threatens to redefine the borderlines of EVE forever.

"Red Moon Rising is a massive content addition to a universe that grows larger and larger each day," said Nathan Richardsson, Lead Producer for EVE Online. "No other expansion that we've released thus far has been executed while hosting such a large number of subscribers, and we're thrilled to see this trend continue for future expansions as well."
