The Company Today

What happens when you take BioWare’s blockbuster,

critically acclaimed titles — like Baldur’s Gate, the

Neverwinter Nights, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Dragon

Age and Mass Effect — and re-conceive them for social

gaming? You get an entirely new experience on the

gaming scene, and BioWare Social is the studio leading

the charge for this emerging venture for BioWare. At

BioWare Social, we’re focused on translating the

emotionally engaging and rich stories, unforgettable

characters and vast worlds that captivate our console

consumers into equally compelling social games

that can be played across all platforms. It’s a

fast-paced and creative environment where

designers, engineers, producers, and artists come

together to create fun for anyone, anywhere.

Sacramento’s History

KlickNation began in 2007 with two partners, Mark Otero and Ken Walton, and

their endeavor to make gifting, messaging and picture-commenting applications

on networks like Hi5 and MySpace. In February 2009, Mark followed his passion

and began designing a video game. He hired six employees and the team

worked tirelessly in a small room above Mochii Yogurt (Mark’s yogurt shop) to

bring his vision to life. In June 2009, SuperHero City launched on Facebook

and was the first RPG with Flash animated battles. On July 4, 2009, their

social gaming company, KlickNation, was officially formed. Less than a year

later, KlickNation expanded to 20 employees and released another huge

success: a fantasy RPG called Age of Champions. By the end of 2010, the

team of 20 grew to 70 and they began developing new games. Their

success was heard loud and clear and eventually caught the eye of an

industry leader. On December 1st, EA/BioWare acquired KlickNation

and welcomed the entire team to their family as BioWare Social!
