BioWare Unreal Engine 3 Q&A

Voodoo Extreme has published an interview with BioWare’s Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk, in which the joint-CEOs answer several questions about their recent licensing of Epic’s Unreal Engine 3. Check it out:

Q: Any hints about what this mysterious future project is?

A: I can’t say anything more – yet! – about the game other than that it’s still a roleplaying game at its core. We’re building a RPG layer on top of Epic’s Unreal Engine 3 which will allow us to tell the type of stories and show character interaction in the way that BioWare’s 2 million+ member strong community has come to expect. We can also add that the Unreal Engine 3 tech is impressive and is actually ideally suited to the specific kind of game that we’re applying it to in this instance, and we’re using that strong framework to build an RPG layer on top, which we own and which Epic has actually expressed interest in licensing back from us. We’ll reveal more information about this new game, along with info about our other already-announced titles like Jade Empire and Dragon Age, at Bioware.com over time.
