MMOs will be important to BioWare in the future if Star Wars: The Old Republic continues to be a success, according to the game’s writer Alex Freed.

In answer to whether BioWare now sees MMOs as a valid medium for storytelling in future projects, Freed told VideoGamer.com:

“I think so. Obviously we’re focused on The Old Republic but multiplayer is a huge part of the industry landscape and if we’re successful then it’s going to be an important part of the company.”

Last year BioWare co-founders Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk stated a Mass Effect MMO was not off the cards.

“It’s one of the nice things about having these properties in our back pocket…,” said Zeschuk.

“If we want to use something we own as a source for a game, it’s easy to do. So yeah, you never know. We’ve got this giant product to launch, but once that’s done we’ll consider next steps.”

Star Wars: The Old Republic launched December 20 in Europe and North America.
