Project Legion (Dust 514 for PC) Better late than never?

I'm not sure if this is news or not, but I hadn't seen anything mentioned on CCP's new endeavor until this article from PC Gamer:

 

"Dust 514 was a PlayStation 3-only FPS set in the EVE universe. Its limitations and flaws were obvious. Now CCP are bringing a reimagined version of Dust to PC, with a greater focus on community, customisation and emergence. It’s an attempt to marry the freeform, story-generating magic of EVE to a modern multiplayer shooter. DayZ, curiously, comes to mind.

“Dust 514 and Project Legion share a common DNA, but Legion is a very different experience,” says Jean- Charles Gaudechon, executive producer. “It’s a competitive shooter that takes place in a sandbox that mixes PvP and PvE. There’s also a player-driven economy, which is really important. If you use the EVE name you have to have an economy that’s influenced by the players."

So pretty much they making a Destiny game with EvE paint.

This should be ported to the PS4 IMO.

What killed Dust 514 was the limits of PS3 hardware and the limited small scale modes for multiplayer, with the uninteresting progression system on top.

I hope they can improve upon the formula used for Dust 514 in a big way.

 

I was exceptionally disappointed with Dust 514.  I knew CCP was taking a chance in a genre in which they had very little to no experience, but I had higher hopes.
