BioWare to produce MMO

BioWare has begun staffing a team of developers in its new studio in Austin, Texas to develop a Massively Multiplayer Online game (according to job postings on the BioWare web site.) BioWare hasn't announced what the subject matter will be, but indicated it would build on top of their well known expertise in gaming.

While we'll have to wait and see exactly what happens, I'm going to predict that this game is designed for the XBOX 360 (and maybe PC.) BioWare really likes the volume sales they get from console games and would like to cash in on the obvious success Blizzard is having with World of Warcraft. It also seems to me that nobody has really cracked the console MMO market yet - BioWare may see themselves as the ones to do it.

Don't go getting too excited just yet though - these games take multiple years to produce.
