Bioware to make secret MMO

Silver Mirror | April 26, 2008 | News | PC Playstation 3 Company

Yesterday when talking to Bioware head Ray Muzyka at the EA Games Studio Showcase, videogaming247 managed to pry some information from the man about Bioware's upcoming projects and of particular interest was that the highly regarded company have a secret MMO in the works which Ray says will be the most compelling gaming experience ever delivered.

Speaking to videogaming247 at yesterday’s EA Games Studio Showcase in London, BioWare head Ray Muzyka said that the developer’s as yet unnamed MMO will be “most compelling” gaming “experience ever delivered,” assuming the development team achieves its targets.

“I think the idea of emotion and narrative in an online game, combined with the best of breed features in MMOs … You know, we have great respect for all the MMOs out there, so it’s not disrespectful at all in our development process; instead it’s kind of how to do we innovate, how do we add, how do we augment what’s already great and make it even better and amazing,” he said.

“And I think the idea of narrative and emotion and characters that are really compelling and interacting in a way that works and is compatible with the social interaction at the same time, so it’s like moving together through a shared story: I think that idea is incredibly compelling.

BioWare is quite possibly my favourite game developing company. Although Bethesda is also up there. If they make an MMO I will pay any price to play it. And if they are going for a storyline and narrative approach you know it won't just be grind as BW as soo good at creating immersive games.

I'm almost 100% sure it is, Turmoil.

Bioware should know that they can't say "MMO" and keep it a secret.

  Most likely PC and Xbox 360.
  
  Name a Bioware title that isn't on one of those two.

Oh man, Bioware is one of the best gaming companies out there. I'll definitely be on the look out for this one. I've been getting a bit tired of City of Heroes. XD

Hmm... Why are they keeping the title a secret? Maybe to build up some hype? Anyway, I guess this would be a good game. Secrets FTW!
