LucasArts And BioWare Enter Into Game Development Agreement; Rumored Star Wars MMO Likely

22

LucasArts and BioWare today announced that they have signed an agreement to develop an "interactive entertainment product". Literally nothing else of note is mentioned in the press release, except that specifics will be unveiled at a later date and a website can be found at LucasArtsBioWare.com. However, this announcement comes a week after reports hit the internet that claimed BioWare Austin is working on an MMO set in the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic universe. At the time, a LucasArts representative would neither confirm or deny the existence of such a project. "BioWare's mission is to deliver the best story and character-driven games in the world, delivering powerful emotional experiences to our fans," said BioWare CEO Ray Muzyka. Added president Greg Zeschuk, "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."

        In the Indiana Jones MMO, everyone hunts Jones. Only playable race is German.

          In the expansion, you can play as the Chinese and Indians, with potential for Turks in the next expansion.

          if you're lucky, you get to be chopped up by a propellor, melted by the ark of the covenant, or rapidly accelerate your aging process. Otherwise your character just gets tossed off a Jeep while performing a Wilhelm scream.
