EA Confirms KOTOR MMO News

Lucasfilm and EA unite for Bioware's MMO The Old Republic...

Following months of intense rumour and speculation, EA CEO John Riccitiello has confirmed that the Bioware MMO is tied to Knights of the Old Republic and hinted towards a stronger involvement with Lucasfilm.

Speaking to Portfolio.com, Riccitiello proclaims, "We've got two of the most compelling MMOs in the industry in development."

"And the one that people are dying for us to talk to them about, in partnership with Lucas, coming out of BioWare, which is, I think, quite possibly the most anticipated game, full stop, for the industry at the point when we get closer to telling you about it."

When pressed for clarification as to whether this referred to a Knights of the Old Republic MMO, Riccitiello answered, "Yes."

Revealing Lucas as opposed to LucasArts is, perhaps, a little telling following recent Lucasfilm trademark registrations for 'The Old Republic' and 'Star Wars The Old Republic'. Having reportedly shed much of its workforce, this information seems to suggest that George Lucas himself will be having a greater role during development.

	By: Jedi Master Duramatis Added:Tue 23rd Jun 2009 22:55, Post No: 10470 Well, we know for a fact that it is an online mmo like world of warcraft. we are positive that it is not kotor 3, at least not a kotor 3 that is like kotor 1 and 2. the developers tease like its kotor 3 4 5 6 7 8 etc........... we also have heard rumors that this game may have an offline single player mode, but i doubt it. There are also rumors that this game may come to the xbox 360 as well as the pc, but all of that is rumor rumor rumor. all we know is that it is for sure an online MMO that will require a subscription fee to play.

I'm fan of KOTOR 1 and KOTOR 2 and I can't wait for KOTOR3... I investigate on hundred and hundred pages, but still I can't find nothing about KOTOR 3.... I hope that KOTOR 3 will come.... but it has pased almost 5 years since KOTOR 2..
