While details are still scarce, today BioWare has unveiled an early sneak peek at their next all-new video game IP which, judging by the teaser image, may be somewhat of a departure for the developer.
Game Informer has the exclusive first look image and while it’s an intriguing tease - gamers will have to wait until the upcoming Spike VGA’s before further official reveals will be unveiled.
Check out the sneak peek image from BioWare below (click to enlarge):
Obviously, after viewing the image, the first two games that will likely come to mind are Borderlands and RAGE - though, given BioWare’s love for supernatural elements (i.e. biotics, Jedi powers, and spell casting), it’s likely that there will be more to this title than merely Mad Max-inspired visuals.
What game fans can actually expect is anyone’s guess at this point - as the announced title could represent a major departure from the studio. Maybe we’re looking at a Twisted Metal-esque destruction derby RPG where players can duke it out in online arenas and boost their vehicle stats through XP upgrades? That might sound like a stretch but BioWare rarely sticks to a single tried-and-true formula - often pushing their own comfort zone with each new release.
That said, if we had to offer a more bankable guess, it’s likely that the new title will fall within BioWare’s third-person action-RPG style of play - in a near-future but less-fantasy based setting. Though, about the only thing we can confirm at this point is… vehicular collisions.
Expect the full reveal of BioWare’s next game at 8:00 p.m. EST on December 10 during the Spike VGA’s. In the meantime, let us know what you’re hoping from the new title in the comments below.
