BioWare’s non-KOTOR MMO?

Category: Asides, Bioware, StarWarsMMO

Some of the hoopla from Surfer girl is pretty much confirmed, thanks to some sharp eyes at Kotaku.

Wondering what that BioWare/Lucasarts project was going to be? Oh, come on. Like you couldn’t guess. During EA’s analyst report earlier today, it was seemingly revealed that in addition to working on more Mass Effect, Dragon Age and a “New MMO”, BioWare are also handling a new Knights of the Old Republic title. Which means that, if accurate, it’s not their upcoming MMO. So, a new, straight-up RPG, then? Probably. If this is indeed correct (and we’re checking with EA), your excitement glands can’t possibly repel joy of this magnitude.

KOTORO No More

BioWare’s MMO may not be fantasy, and the new Star Wars MMO may not be as she described, but I think this basically means she nailed the ‘not KOTORO’ part. That adds alot of credence to her claim, IMHO.

Update: Gaaah. Gamespot does some journalism and finds out that for some reason past and future products were slapped up there together. Feh. I wish I had a hotline to EA. So no love on this front.
