The dark, satanic rumour mills are grinding out a yarn that Lucas Arts and Bioware are conspiring together to bring about a massively multiplayer online role-playing game of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
According to GameSpot, both Bioware and Lucas Arts refused to comment on the project, but now have admitted that they are working together on something.
The pair have launched a cobranded Web site,
www.LucasArtsBioWare.com and say they are working on something big.
Neither side said anything about the forthcoming game, only that details will be unveiled at a later date.
Bioware is now owned by Electronic Arts and when that outfit bought it for $860 million earlier in the month, pundits said that the price was a bit steep. However EA came back and said that the reason it had to pay so much was because of an unnamed MMORPG in the works at Bioware which is due to appear in 2009.
