LucasArts and BioWare today announced that they would co-create and publish an upcoming "interactive entertainment product", details of which will be released later this year. The two companies have a history, as BioWare did the original Knights of the Old Republic, a popular Star Wars RPG.
For anyone who has not followed the news for the last year, this project is almost certainly the unannounced MMORPG in development at BioWare Austin, which just happens to be staffed by many former Star Wars Galaxies developers. Officially, though, that' just a guess, of course.
The two have also announced a new website at www.LucasArtsBioWare.com.
