GDC 2009: Another new game announcement from BioWare this year?
One of the most acclaimed game developers in the business is BioWare and the EA-owned company already has three announced projects in various stages of completion. One is Dragon Age: Origins, the fantasy RPG that's due out later this year. Another is Mass Effect 2, the sci-fi action-RPG sequel that's due out in the first quarter of 2010. Finally there's Star Wars: The Old Republic, their first MMO game that doesn't have a release date yet.
But as with all game development teams BiowWare also has projects in the works that have not yet been announced. In a GDC chat with BioWare co-founders Greg Zeschuk and Ray Muzyka, IGN got Muzyka to say, "I think one of them might be pretty soon, then maybe a little later, then possibly some other stuff a little later." He added that, "Maybe one of them" might be revealed sometime this year.
In fact they gave some hints that one or more of their next projects might take place in a different setting. Zeschuk stating, "A horror RPG you could do a whole kind of different ways, it's been done before by some folks but we'd probably put our own fingerprints on it. There's lots of places you could tell a story."

Interplay owns the rights to the Baldur's Gate franchise and Bioware has no intention of going back to them. The Baldur's Gate story is finished, and Dragon Age is almost out.Posted at 12:16AM on Mar 29th 2009 by Ihavepants

Personally, I'm hoping they'll announce some stuff from their handheld division. An RPG for the DS or iPhone would be sweet.Posted at 1:25AM on Mar 29th 2009 by ArmiMaan
