Bioware to create new Star Wars MMO?
Despite LucasArts’ earlier announcement not to leave SOE with the Star Wars license, word is that BioWare could be soon working on another Star Wars MMO title – possibly a SW: Galaxies sequel.
The coincidences are pretty suspicious, that’s for sure: BioWare opened a new studio in Austin a while ago, with several SOE employees getting jobs there. The only information the studio itself gave out was their plan for a Sci-Fi MMORPG.
Then the real rumors started, claiming LucasArts was in talks with other developers to take over the SW online license, one possible candidate being BioWare.
At least some time needs to pass first, because LucasArts certainly won’t negate their recent announcement anytime soon. Not that the Galaxies folk would really care if SOE were to announce the immediate shutdown of the struggling Star Wars MMORPG.
