So Bioware's new IP is a horror survival... RPG?

It's a Bioware game, so I bet you can fuck the poltergeists and demons.

This deserves its own thread.

Mass Effect and Dragon Age developer BioWare is teasing a new horror project.

Select fans have been emailed a link to Youve-Been-Chosen.com, which reveals a live-action teaser trailer for something named "Nightmare".

"The time is near," the site reads. "They are watching. Your power is rising. Cologne, Germany. You've Been Chosen."

It's likely we'll hear more at Gamescom (held in Cologne) in a couple of weeks.

There appears to be some kind of ARG running with more clues to the game - police reports for a missing person named Henna Caplin, as well as a website for a fake college - the Woods-Watson Institute of Higher Learning.

What could it all mean? It doesn't look anything like the new IP that BioWare briefly teased back at E3 and it certainly doesn't look like Mass Effect or Dragon Age.

Our best guess would be BioWare's mysterious collaboration with Fallen London developer Failbetter Games. The British-based studio teased that it was working on something with BioWare earlier this year.

Yeah man this will totally be a RPG.

Well to be fair the Teaser wasn't even that bad. Still it will probably suck, the codex will hate it but it will end up with a 400 page megathread.

Game is called "Shadow Realms" and it will be some online F2P shit.

Horrifying indeed.

 

[Zed]

looks like a teaser for a very shitty tv show.

Tell me you're kidding!

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Well that's the developer's background anyway. Also domains like shadowrealmplayfree.com and shadowrealmonline.com have been registered.

Abandon all hope.

PS: Okay, only a rumor so far, but still...

 

[Bliblablubb]

I got the mail as being one of the selected few.... and the link to the localised trailor was broken and led to an unused page. Quality marketing at work. Or was I one of selected few that got saved from having to endure it? This leaves me me with so many questions...

I have bad feelings about this.
So bad it makes them kind of good.

 

[Perkel]

Bioware gonna EA

 

[FeelTheRads]

Fucking quality developer.

 

[Drowed]

BioWare. Horror. Online. F2P.

 

[polo]

I watched the trailer with no sound, it was funny.

Sekking Henna is a part of the puzzle

HOEUNTNHAEARREEIYH is actually a cipher. It spells out Henna Are You There if you take the every second letter.

 

[Stainless Veteran]

Shit, even The Secret World trailers were way better than this. And they really weren't good to begin with.

 

[SuicideBunny]

looks like augmented reality shit.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Now thats a game where they can use their horrible hands/necks.

 

[BobtheTree]

Dragon Age 2 wasn't horrifying enough for them?

 

[Decado]

What's really horrifying is that they used a white cismale penis bearer as their protagonist in the video. Thanks, BioWare. I can't even finish my lunch now, I am literally sick with rage.

 

[Stainless Veteran]

I just hope that this game isn't the one on which they are collaborating with Failbetter Games.
