EA/BioWare MMO Due In 2010??? News

Rumours abound that BioWare's much talked about untitled MMO will be set in the KOTOR universe...

BioWare's upcoming untitled MMO, due sometime in 2009, is gradually picking up enough momentum on the rumour mill to ground a considerable amount of grain. According to Primotech, citing an unnamed source "close to BioWare", the MMO will be set in the Star Wars universe, specifically the Knights of the Old Republic world that BioWare are famed for.

This follows a heap of reports about the engines that BioWare will be using in their Austin studio to develop the game. The rights have been bought up to use the StreamBase engine (which has previously been used by financial organisations for processing), Perpetual online technology (currently used by Perpetual for their MMOs including Star Trek Online) and the HeroEngine (currently in use by its makers Simultronics for their MMO Hero's Journey).

With all of these engines, it seems like BioWare are developing less of an MMO and more of a Death Star. Regardless of these slightly unsubstantiated rumours about a Star Wars MMO though, it's not a huge step to suggest that BioWare will go back to their KOTOR stomping grounds, particular because the KOTOR games have been so successful with a very loyal fanbase.

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

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.
