BioWare working on KotOR game, possibly LucasArts project
The Internets are abuzz with news on BioWare, who we already saw in news earlier today. This time, it’s the strong rumour that BioWare is working on a Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic game - something that has been in rumourland for months. But this time, man - this time, the evidence is just one step short of official announcement.
To find out what this is all about and what this proof is, hit the jump.
During an analysts’ meeting, EA CEO John Riccitiello presented a slide that showed what EA slaves studios are working on what projects. This slide was conveniently leaked to the Internet from somewhere we don’t know yet. It is present below, stolen fresh from Shacknews.
We already know about the big secret LucasArts-Bioware collaboration and also the big secret BioWare MMO. This however, cleanly separates “KOTOR” from “MMO”, which in turn confirms that there isn’t a KotOR MMO. If this slide is to be trusted, then the big hush-hush LA-BioWare project may very well be a Knights of the Old Republic sequel.
And being a KotOR fanboy, I can attest that this is pretty hawt news. We wonder when we’ll get official word and artwork. I can’t wait for this!
