Star Wars: The Old Republic Announced (PC)

Confirming rumors, LucasArts and BioWare announced today they are working together again in a Star Wars title set 4,000 years before the rise of the Galactic Empire. But this time, it's a story-driven massively multiplayer online PC game.

SAN FRANCISCO--Today at a flashy media event in San Francisco, LucasArts and BioWare announced development of the PC massively multiplayer online role-playing game Star Wars: The Old Republic. Though ostensibly suspenseful, the unveiling's thunder was stolen this past July by John Riccitiello, CEO of BioWare parent Electronic Arts. Speaking to a business-oriented magazine, the executive casually confirmed that, yes, BioWare was working on a massively multiplayer online role-playing game set in the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Universe.

Sweeeeet. Can't wait for this

Mr. Lawliet · 10-23-2008, 05:28 AM

Sounds interesting. Let's wait and see how it turns out.

Falcon0408 · 10-23-2008, 05:35 AM

Any info on monthly payments?

Xander · 10-23-2008, 08:36 AM

If it promises to be like how Galaxies was or better, I might pick it up.

DAmwake · 10-24-2008, 06:13 AM

IGN claims there is a good possibility of this coming to consoles.

It took them long enough!
I may pick it up as long as I wouldn't have to pay monthly for it.

Yah, there are enough KOTOR fans to warrant a monthly fee, though I hope they'll pull a Guild Wars and charge nothing except the price of the game (as it should be IMO).

madman · 10-26-2008, 10:24 PM

they should bring it to consoles like 360 and have single player and xbox live i loved all star wars games

salance · 10-30-2008, 06:25 PM

I have been a huge fan of Kotor since the day the the first game came out, I can't even count how many times I beat either of the games. I found out about the announcement for this game awhile back, so I've been pretty pumped over the time period. My only problem with it is that its PC only, I played the games on the Xbox so it will be a little hard to adjust to the new style. Then again I don't even think my crap of a computer will even be able to play it, for crying out loud I can't even play Kotor 2 (bought it for the PC a week ago)

Well I guess I got time to save for a new computer considering this beast won't be out for awhile. :P
