<a href="http://www.lucasarts.com">LucasArts</a> and <a href="http://www.bioware.com">BioWare</a> have invited members of the press to attend an event later this month at which the two companies will finally officially <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/10/04/kotor-mmo-announcement-rumored-to-be-coming-soon/">announce</a> the game they've been working on together. They did not say what the game is, of course -- then how could they officially announce it at the event? Obviously we're suspicious that it will be the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/kotor-mmo"><em>Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic</em> MMO</a> (or just <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/07/12/new-lucasfilm-trademarks-sound-suspiciously-kotor-mmo-like/"><em>Star Wars: The Old Republic</em></a>, as the rumored title goes).<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ea.com">EA</a>'s John Riccitiello already <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/07/17/kotor-mmo-confirmed-by-electronic-arts/">confirmed</a> the existence of that game under the table way back at E3, and other tidbits of news have only supported it since then. But hey, we suppose it could be something else. It was suggested in the Massively offices that maybe <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/lucasarts">LucasArts</a> bought the rights to He-Man, and it is in fact a He-Man MMO. Or maybe GI Joe. Yeah, we're a-stretchin'. More likely: a <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096446/"><em>Willow</em></a> game.<br /><br />According to <a href="http://www.worldsinmotion.biz/2008/10/lucasarts_bioware_prepare_to_a.php">Worlds in Motion</a>, the invitation says it's "the game that's been rumored about for years." Uh-huh. The announcement will come October 21st, so hold your horses. Or your speeders. Whatever.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/10/06/lucasarts-and-bioware-announce-impending-announcement/">LucasArts and BioWare confirm impending announcement</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 06 Oct 2008 16:30:00 EST.
