BioWare co-founder and Star Wars KOTOR director say they’re interested in reuniting to try and save BioWare’s IP

Former BioWare co-founder Trent Oster is exploring whether he can secure the rights to the studio’s franchises and bring back some of its games. Former creative director James Ohlen has said he would be interested in reuniting with Oster, following EA’s announcement that it was closing BioWare and cancelling the next Mass Effect game.

Oster says a Mass Effect project could require more than $200 million if it aimed for the scale expected of a major release, though he believes a disciplined team could make it for less. He argues that any revival would need both the rights and a workable funding plan, and has discussed the idea with Canadian MP Don Davies. No deal or team has been confirmed; Ohlen said working on Dragon Age again would be a dream.
