Looks like the first products announced by developers BioWare and Pandemic since their acquisition by Electronic Arts are franchise titles.
BioWare announced at an Electronic Arts event that they will develop ‘Knights of the Old Republic 3.” The second game in that series was made by Obsidian Entertainment. BioWare is hard at work on the forthcoming “Dragon Age” and possibly the unannounced MMO game.
Pandemic announced at the same event that they are going to be working on a Lord of the Rings movie tie-in just as soon as “Mercenaries 2″ is finished.
While the future of BioWare and Pandemic under Electronic Arts is uncertain, this first announcement does not bode well for creativity. Electronic Arts is notorious for sticking to franchises, and I would have felt a lot better about some new intellectual property, especially from BioWare.
