BioWare's 'Next Major Project' Teased, Being Announced at Spike VGAs

Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age: Origins dev BioWare's "next major project" is being teased in teensy video snippets and a high-res still screen ahead of its announcement at the 2010 Spike Video Game Awards on December 11.

What is it? All parent company Electronic Arts has to say is "BioWare teases its next major project, stay tuned for more." We're going to go out on a limb and guess that not only will guns feature in the game, players will also be able to shoot them.

Saints Row 3, Batman: Arkham City and Guillermo del Toro's "Lovecraftian" game are all also due to be shown off in some form at the 2010 VGAs. Last year's awards ceremony saw a wide spread of video game announcements and trailer debuts.

So, not ME3 then. That's a bit weird. They currently have ME3, DAO2 (and probably 3) as well as the MMO in the pipeline. I'd guess this is the property they plan to do after ME3, but in that case it's a bit early to be announcing it, isn't it ?

      It's also possible that they hired the same folks to design both weapons, and their styles are bleeding through. Either way, too soon to tell.
