LucasArts, BioWare join forces to do battle with new project
Confirming some rumours that have been flying around, today LucasArts and BioWare Corp announced that they are working together to create an "interactive entertainment product". As yet, details on the product are being kept under wraps, but it promises to "push the boundaries" of the gaming market, utilising the strengths of both companies in order to create an innovative, high-quality experience.

Consider, for a moment, the well-known project that these two produced together in the past...


Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, a previous collaborative effort

Jim Ward, president of LucasArts explains:
"LucasArts has a deep commitment to developing compelling stories and characters for the unique medium of interactive entertainment, and we have been searching for a developer that shares this value. We found this in BioWare. Through our previous collaborations, we know that BioWare has an impressive ability to blend gripping stories with technological advancements, and we believe that our upcoming product will deliver an experience that will span the traditional boundaries of video game entertainment."
Ray Muzyka, chief executive officer, BioWare Corp comments:
"BioWare's mission is to deliver the best story and character-driven games in the world, delivering powerful emotional experiences to our fans."
...and Greg Zeschuk, president of BioWare Corp agrees:
"The collaboration with LucasArts allows us to combine our passion for creating high quality and innovative experiences with those of a company dedicated to bringing only the finest games to market."

Of course, there are now more rumours flying around about just what this new project could be... the concept of an MMO has popped up in more than one place, and the idea of revisiting an old franchise... only time will tell.
