Bioware will be releasing a new IP before March 2018

Back in 2014, EA and Bioware began teasing a brand new IP known as ‘Shadow Realms', a creepy looking 4V1 multiplayer game. Unfortunately that title was promptly cancelled at the start of 2015 but since then, it looks like Bioware has been cooking up something new, as EA confirmed today that Bioware would be launching an all new IP by the end of the first quarter in 2018 and unlike Mass Effect or Dragon Age, this one won't be an RPG.

Bioware is a large studio at this point and while the bulk of its focus recently has been on Mass Effect: Andromeda, something new will soon be on the horizon, which will see Bioware take a step away from its RPG roots.

According to EA CEO, Andrew Wilson during the publisher's quarterly earnings call, Bioware's unannounced title would be an “action-adventure” game and not an RPG. Unfortunately, we don't really know anything else beyond that. However, it is believed that this project ties in to some concept art Bioware developers previously displayed for an unannounced project. You can see one of the screenshots of concept footage above.

Perhaps we will start to see what Bioware has under its sleeve at E3 or Gamescom later this year. That said, the studio has left a lot of its marketing push for Mass Effect until the last minute so it's possible that we won't hear anything until late 2017.

KitGuru Says: Bioware has a number of great RPGs under its belt at this point, so it will be interesting to see the studio step out of that and develop different styles of game. In any case, I hope we hear something about this secret project sooner rather than later.

    I wish bioware could be what it used to be.

    I liked dragon age origins (the last game I played from them) but it sure felt shallow compared to their older games.

  5. They have Mass Effect and TOR, small chance that KOTOR will ever see another installment. Also, I’d rather have a brand new time period at this point; new ideas, new enemies, new plotlines.

  6. as long as they stay thousands of years before the original trilogy i dont care. but the closer they get to the movies the more likely they are to do more retcon to conform with the bad disney movies.

  8. No problem then, cause there are no bad Disney movies 😛

  9. sure, just horrible remakes with different characters.

  10. Now you’ve got me curious, of which movie is Rogue One a remake? Was there an animation or something that I missed?
