CCP, aside from continuing its popular EVE Online and developing a new MMO based on the World of Darkness RPGs, has hinted at a new project that is a radical departure from its other projects: a first-person shooter for consoles.

According to Eurogamer, CCP unveiled some new game footage at its annual fanfest in Iceland this past weekend which showed "a Halo-like shooter on a daylit, Earth-like planet surface. The architecture and gun designs were clearly redolent of the space MMO's art style." Earlier in the same presentation, CCP execs Hilmar Petursson and Nathan Richardsson mentioned the developer has a "game console strategy" in the works and is apparently working on projects for the 360 and the PS3.

However, fans won't be seeing the shooter anytime soon, as Petursson made a point of mentioning that his studio was focusing most of its resources on the next expansion for EVE Online. The expansion is due out next March and will feature a massive graphics update on top of a slew of new content, so it seems safe to assume that little news about this FPS will be forthcoming in the near future.
