reboot old series

★★ Novice

Hello  EA/Teams  i would like to know if you guys own the copyright for Black & White?  If you do. Are there any chance you may consider rebooting the series?

@golycty EA had only the publishing rights. The IP remained with Lionhead, which means that the rights are now with Microsoft (same goes for The Movies, Lionhead retained ownership and the rights transfered to MS when they've bought the company). It's unlikely to see MS interested in rebooting something like B&W or The Movies. After all, they've managed to kill their best sold franchise (Fable) and the studio behind it. 

I do not work for EA and i am not associated with the company in any way. I am a player just like you, trying to help wherever i can.I will not answer to any unsolicited PM.

@golycty unless MS sells the franchise, no one can do anything about Frown

 

I would have loved to see B&W re-released digitally (and The Movies, too). Sadly...it's not possible for now.
