BioWare is a Canadian video game developer based in Edmonton, Alberta. [1] It was founded in 1995 by Ray Muzyka, Greg Zeschuk, and Augustine Yip. [2] They signed a partnership with American publisher Interplay Productions to get investment and development resources for their first game Shattered Steel , [2] a mech simulation action game released in 1996. [3] The game was a modest success, but BioWare's second title, Baldur's Gate (1998), achieved overwhelming critical praise and defined the company's future direction. [1] [2] A role-playing video game (RPG) based on Dungeons & Dragons , Baldur's Gate sold more than two million copies and became the most successful Dungeons & Dragons game ever at the time. [1] [2] Two years later, the studio released an acclaimed sequel Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn , which along with the use of BioWare game engines in RPGs such as Planescape: Torment (1999) and Icewind Dale (2000) helped propel the studio to the forefront of the computer RPG genre. [1] [2] Interplay was suffering financially by the early 2000s, so BioWare collaborated with publisher Infogrames to release their next Dungeons & Dragon-based RPG Neverwinter Nights (2002). [1]

BioWare was given the opportunity to work on another popular intellectual property, Star Wars , when LucasArts approached them at the turn of the millennium. [4] Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic released first on Microsoft's Xbox video game console in 2003. [4] While it was not BioWare's first console game, it helped the studio break into the console market since Microsoft Game Studios wanted to partner with them on console exclusive titles, such as Jade Empire (2005) and Mass Effect (2007). [4] [5] [6] In March 2006, BioWare expanded their operations and opened a new studio in Austin, Texas, to helm the development of a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). [7] In October 2007, American publisher Electronic Arts (EA) announced that it had acquired BioWare. [8] Under EA, BioWare established the fantasy RPG series Dragon Age , continued to release games in their science fiction RPG series Mass Effect , and opened a new studio in Montreal. [9] [10] [11] They also revisited the Star Wars franchise with BioWare Austin's MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic (2011). [12] [13]

In the early 2010s, EA restructured and rebranded several of its other studios under the BioWare label, including Mythic Entertainment and Victory Games which respectively became BioWare Mythic and BioWare Victory. [14] [15] New games from these studios were announced as BioWare projects, [16] [15] but they were cancelled and the studios shut down in the following years. [17] [18] In September 2012, co-founders Muzyka and Zeschuk announced their retirement and departure from BioWare. [19] Following the release of Mass Effect: Andromeda in 2017, BioWare Montreal was merged with EA's Motive Studios. [11]

Western role-playing video games are role-playing video games developed in the Western world, including The Americas and Europe. They originated on mainframe university computer systems in the 1970s, were later popularized by titles such as Ultima and Wizardry in the early- to mid-1980s, and continue to be produced for modern home computer and video game console systems. The genre's "Golden Age" occurred in the mid- to late-1980s, and its popularity suffered a downturn in the mid-1990s as developers struggled to keep up with changing fashion, hardware evolution and increasing development costs. A later series of isometric role-playing games, published by Interplay Productions and Blizzard Entertainment, was developed over a longer time period and set new standards of production quality.

The D.I.C.E. Award for Role-Playing Game of the Year is an award presented annually by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences during the D.I.C.E. Awards. "This award honors a title, single-player or multi-player, where an individual assumes the role of one or more characters and develops those characters in terms of abilities, statistics, and/or traits as the game progresses. Gameplay involves exploring, acquiring resources, solving puzzles, and interacting with player or non-player characters in the persistent world. Through the player's actions, his/her virtual characters' statistics or traits demonstrably evolve throughout the game". All active creative/technical, business, and affiliate members of the Academy are qualified to vote for this category. The award initially had separate awards for console games and computer games at the 1st Annual Interactive Achievement Awards in 1998, with the first winners being Final Fantasy VII for console and Dungeon Keeper for computer. Throughout the history of this category, there have been numerous mergers and changes for role-playing related games. The current version was established at the 21st Annual D.I.C.E. Awards in 2018, which was awarded to Nier: Automata.
