BioWare Working on Secret Project With Indie Dev Failbetter

To be really honest with you, the news has basically already been summarized by the title, and there isn't really much else to say. The folks at Failbetter Games briefly mentioned in a blog post that they're working on a secret project with BioWare, although the exact nature of the collaboration and of the project are still kept under wraps:

Keeping secrets doesn't come naturally to us. We are excitable: we love our work: we love talking about our work.

But for the last year, on and off, we've been working in absolute secrecy on a project for a much larger company. When we've gone quiet for no obvious reason, it's because we've been heads-down on this. When I've mentioned that we don't take client work any more, with rare exceptions, this is the rare exception.

We've finally been allowed to lift one corner of the veil. I can't tell you anything at all about the project not for a little while yet except to say that it's a Failbettery one, down to its bones. But I can tell you the name of the company:

BioWare.

We are thrilled about this. We can't wait to say more.


Failbetter has previously done some consulting work with BioWare, so the collaboration isn't as out of the left field as it initially seemed (to me, at least).

Thanks, Gamasutra.
