You just made me hopeful that they will repackage SWTOR as an SP campaign condensing some of the later parts. I would not mind a completely new game, but it always bothered me that the magnificence and magnitude of SWTOR never really got presented in a more palatable format than a monthly sub.

Whatever they do, I am eagerly awaiting news. Yep, even about DA4.

This image we've seen before also lends weight to it being a sci-fi, Destiny-style game...

If that's true, it doesn't really sound like it's for me, but I'm still curious to see what they'll cook up.

The Dev who posted that was very coy when asked what franchise that was. If it was MEA-related, there would have been no reason to hide that fact. I feel it's a pretty safe bet at this point it's from the Secret IP.

Oh, sounds like what they did with BGEE maybe. Well, we'll see. I am not keen on more Revan though. I've had enough of it.

Truth be told, Robertson is usually a reliable source.

This one is up in the air though, seems plausible.

Guess we shall find out in a few months...E3 is just around the corner. 

Just a question, did they already mention if it will be a third or first person type of game ?

This looks a LOT like ME designs. They wouldnt rip off their own work like that now would they :/

TL;DR : "BioWare Austin did indeed play around with a Knights of the Old Republic prototype, but that it hasn’t been greenlit and is not currently in development. I’ve also heard that the majority of BioWare Austin is working on the company’s new IP, which is headed up by BioWare’s Edmonton studio and should be officially announced at E3. That new IP is a Destiny-ish game code-named Dylan, as Liam Robertson correctly reported in a separate Patreon post"

I've skimmed through Wiki about Destiny.

1st person is a deal breaker for me, I can't really play without seeing my character on the screen. The 1st person interfaces always look like a cage to me or a monitor within my monitor.

The other thing that they could not keep up with the MP demand for PvE/PvP content in SWTOR, not even closely, not ever, and changed it to basically SP game for a single protagonist. Why are they going for the model that can only survive on the frequent pumping out of group content? Their PvE suffered from being overly artistic and too intricately over-designed compared to the many, many, many crappy MP dungeons in one other MMO I've tried.

So, I am curious to see E3.

The Division was third person, so it's not like this model requires first person perspective. I imagine Bioware would stick with what they know on that front. (Destiny was also third person in hubs, so there's that)

It looks like they're trying to front load it with a lot of content out the gate according to Robertson, so we'll have to wait and see how their content plans stack up. Hopefully Bioware will put in enough dialogue and story branches that the SP parts have replayability.
