EA/BioWare MMO Due In 2010??? News

According to former LucasArts employees, there is a KOTOR 3 project with BioWare and it's an MMO...

LucasArts employees have been spilling the beans on unannounced LucasArts projects following a cull of around 100 staff at the company this week. At the top of the list of juicy revelations is that the unannounced LucasArts/BioWare project is KOTOR3, and it's the long rumoured MMO!

Kotaku reports that some of these 100 LucasArts have been sacked immediately after many years of service and that the sackings are spread across the company, from Testers to Head Producers.

As well as the Knights of the Old Republic MMO, these former employees have also been revealing other as yet unannounced titles in the LucasArts schedule. These include the much expected Battlefront 3 (probably in development at Free Radical Design), another LEGO Indiana Jones game, the Euphoria-driven Indiana Jones games unveiled at E3 2006, and a Star Wars lightsaber game for Nintendo's Wii. The final game is likely to be the Clone Wars game first hinted at last week.

Although games such as Fracture and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed are too far along the development cycle to be affected by the sackings, other projects may well be. These sackings will leave LucasArts short staffed and reports suggest that the publisher will likely be outsourcing their projects more frequently in future.

Its more like a sequel to the 3 game whenever it comes out the story takes place 300 years after Kotor 2 Revan the Exile and whoever went with the Exile never returned from the outer rims most likely they lived out there entire lives preventing the true sith from coming to there galaxy.Now this ture sith that there were stoping have finale come thats the story for this mmo i'm not happy because i hate mmo's but it seems to be a great story. P.S Hk-47 is in the game so i quess we will find out what happens in Kotor 3 from him whenever the game comes out

	By: Anonymous Coward Added:Fri 02nd Jan 2009 22:01, Post No: 10326 Tired of all these games that are only MMO... Quit making just MMO games everyone hates them that really care about games. Make it a single player RPG like it already is and make it also possible for MMO so people don't have to have the internet to play and not only that which will prolly be the case have to pay a monthly fee to play as well. Like all the other MMO games out there that use to only be single player RPG with multiplayer options!! Quit making MMO games.
