Starbreeze, the Swedish development studio that made the upcoming Chronicles of Rid$#@!: Assault on Dark Athena, recently spoke to Eurogamer about the next game based on Robert Ludlum's Bourne series.

Electronic Arts announced in February that it picked up the rights to the Bourne franchise, and the publisher chose Starbreeze to develop a game based on the spy series. Last year's Bourne release was developed by High Moon Studios and published by Vivendi, now part of Activision Blizzard.

Although details on Starbreeze's Bourne effort remain thin, the company has confirmed that there will be multiplayer and that the studio is going all-out with its motion capture and voice capture tech.

"It is the same team that's going to create the Bourne game that did Rid$#@! as well as The Darkness," lead designer Jerk Gustafsson told Eurogamer. "We've already begun work. There are some personnel in a development cycle that are free a little bit earlier than others and those guys have been working on the Bourne project.

There's still no release date for Bourne, and Starbreeze and EA haven't announced platforms just yet.
