In the same podcast where the rumor of a reboot/remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic from BioWare surfaced, came another rumor. This time, the rumor focused on a "Destiny-style" game from BioWare that has been referred to as a "semi-MMO."
Games journalist Liam Robertson took to his Patreon subscriber-only podcast to reveal information that, for the most part, is "triple sourced, rock solid information." According to Robertson, BioWare's Destiny-like game will be releasing next year and revealed this year:
"They've been quiet about what their new IP is for a good while. This is a project that's been in development for around four years, it's currently set to be revealed at E3 2017… I don't know if they've said this publicly, it's set to come out next year.
"Its name right now is 'Dylan' – there's no other way to say it right now, it's Dylan, as in Bob Dylan. I believe that relates to the main character."
As for information that Robertson revealed that he wasn't "100% sure on," Robertson detailed what the main characters could be like:
"Dylan is, from what I understand, a sci-fi themed game, it is sort of Destiny-style, takes some elements from The Division, it has like MMO elements. Someone described it as a 'semi-MMO'. I don't know much more than that… it is a huge scale project, perhaps the biggest BioWare has ever done. It's bigger than Mass Effect Andromeda, considerably so. It will have co-op.
"From what I understand… I'm not 100% sure on this part… all the rest I am 100% sure on. It's like, triple sourced, rock solid information. This is the part where it gets a little sketchy as I've only heard this from one artist who's working on it.
"[He/She] says that the main character is this sort of like gorgeous Adonis and there is a female character as well – I'm not sure if you can play as her – but she's more schlubby looking and those are the two main characters."
This rumor should be taken with a healthy dose of salt to keep your expectations in check.
