EA’s EA2D studio has been renamed as BioWare San Francisco now. The studio, responsible for titles such as Dragon Age Legends and Mirror’s Edge 2D is now part of BioWare, and these games will now be released under the BioWare banner.

Dragon Age Journeys and The Fancy Pants Adventures are also under the BioWare unbrella now.

After Edmonton, Montreal, Austin and BioWare Mythic (Virginia), this is the developer’s fifth studio.

EA clearly has big plans for BioWare, since yesterday, they announced BioWare was now one of EA’s only four publishing labels along with EA Sports, EA Games and EA Play.

Last week, Blizzard performed an abrupt U-turn on their previous decision to make all players use their real names when posting in forums.

The move supposedly came about after Blizzard became tired of incessant trolling.

According to Blizzard, RealID “was a deliberate and open design decision, driven 100 per cent by the desire to create an even better online experience for our players by giving them powerful tools to compete with and stay connected to their real-life friends and family.”

“No. Never. Never. No,” was Warhammer Online producer Carrie Gouskos reply when asked whether WO would ever make use of RealID.

“I would fight that tooth and nail. I’ve had some very personal, really bad experiences in online communities with that. Personally, I’m against it,” she said.

Well that’s that put to bed then.

Starcraft II releases tomorrow.
