CCP Games is a studio known for daring and often backfiring experiments, but its next project might be one of its craziest yet. Tesla CEO Elon Musk name-dropped EVE Online on Twitter recently, saying, “Had a good conversation with the makers of EVE Online. We discussed the possibility of collaborating on an AI game. Something that only AI could do.”

Next up for EVE fans is the “first-ever EVE Universe world event,” called Operation Nemesis. This event begins on September 16th and runs through October 2nd, binding together EVE Online and EVE Vanguard, “strengthening the connection of ground-to-space play between the two games.” This is part of an initiative that CCP calls “EVE Forever.”
