    [​IMG]In a surprise announcement today we can read that BioWare has teamed up with Irrational Games to help promote the launch of Irrational's super-powered epic Freedom Force(R) vs. The Third Reich. US customers can now buy the game via BioWare's Online Store, or rather, get redirected to Irrational's store from there.

    Things are explained somewhat in an interview with Ken Levine, the General Manager and Creative Director of Irrational Games, posted on BioWare's site:

    Is BioWare the publisher for Freedom Force vs. The 3rd Reich?
    BioWare is not the publisher of Freedom Force vs. The 3rd Reich. Irrational Games is publishing the game and Vivendi Universal is distributing it. BioWare and Irrational hooked up and decided that Freedom Force vs. The 3rd Reich might be a game that BioWare's fan base might be into, so we asked them to help us promote it. Much to our (pleasant) surprise, they agreed.

    What is BioWare's involvement in the development of Freedom Force vs. The 3rd Reich?
    At this stage, the partnership is primarily a promotional one. Our goal is to grow it into something deeper. BioWare is one of the rare companies that have done a significant amount of work with other developers (Obsidian, Floodgate, etc.) and Irrational Games got their start in partnerships with other developers (we co-developed System Shock 2 with the late, great Looking Glass) and so were both comfortable with finding ways to work together.
