Last fall, LucasArts and BioWare announced that they are working on a game together. Then, Electronic Arts purchased BioWare and Pandemic. Since then, there have been all sorts of rumors about what the LucasArts/BioWare game is. KOTOR III? A KOTOR MMO? An MMO to tie into the live action TV series? Something else?

But in an EA Analyst Report yesterday, we finally discovered the truth. BioWare is working on the next Mass Effect, Dragon Age, a new MMO, and... the next Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic!

This is awesome news to anyone who loves Star Wars games, RPGs, BioWare, or all of the above! Now, we just need the official announcement.

Update: 1UP has more on the story.

Update 2: TeamXbox, Joystiq, and IGN are reporting that, according to EA, a KOTOR game is not in development. Of course, a few months ago, Lucasfilm said that they had no plans to release Star Wars: The Clone Wars in theaters in the beginning of August. Now look when it's coming out: August 15th, 2008. So, the KOTOR game could still be in development.
