Bioware gets 40k Franchise

[Defenestratus]

In addition to dropping news about Mass Effect 4 on us, seems Bioware was able to get rights to make 40k material.

The purchase of the “Warhammer 40,000” will give Bioware another science-fiction setting to work on along with the “Mass Effect” series. The Montreal branch of the company is currently working on “Mass Effect 4.” The sequel will be using the same Frostbite 3 game engine from “Battlefield 4” and “Dragon Age 3: Inquisition.” Its official release dates and platforms have not yet been announced by Electronic Arts for “Mass Effect 4.”

Another space marine game? By Bioware? Sign me the hell up right now!

I'm not a big computer gamer, but... color me intrigued. I've had friends tell me how awesome Mass Effect is. I could see myself getting into a similar game themed after a setting I'm already fond of.

So a little pie on my face - this is a story ... from May 2013.

I was reading all about the ME4 stuff and managed to find this link and welp... didn't do my homework. There goes my career in miniatures video game pundit journalism.

still interesting news, and just because its a year and a half old doesn't mean that Bioware isnt working on something for 40k

It's not like it doesn't take a while to make video games or anything...

bollocks I'm going to end up actually having to use my origin account aren't I?

I'd have much rather it'd gone to the fallout team for an inquisition game.

I'm hoping this is still being worked on, because sweet Jesus this would be a perfect confluence of two beautiful things I very much love, and I will stop hating GW in the pit of my soul for turning the 40K video game sector into a series of terrible iOS 'games.'

It can happen quicker than that :D
