LucasArts Developing Star Wars MMO??? News
BioWare is apparently not involved, while LucasArts' MMO will run alongside the Star Wars TV series...
By Gwynne DixonPosted: 08/02/2008
Rumour has it that a new Star Wars MMO is in development at LucasArts, and is scheduled to launch alongside the live-action Star Wars TV series towards the end of 2009. The MMO's plot will supposedly follow the same storylines as the TV series.
The rumours also suggest that this MMO will not be developed by BioWare or Sony Online Entertainment.
BioWare does currently have an untitled MMO in development, as well as an apparently unrelated project with LucasArts (details of which are sparse to say the least).
Previous rumours have suggested that the untitled BioWare MMO might be a Star Wars game, or even based on the Knights of the Old Republic universe.
If there is any substance behind the latest rumours, then this sheds significant doubt on BioWare's involvment in any type of MMO Star Wars game. BioWare's MMO may not be related to LucasArts' whatsoever, while the Canadian developer's LucasArts project may not even be an MMO.
Few specific details have been released about the first live-action Star Wars TV series since its announcement in 2005. However, it will set between the end of the new trilogy, and the start of the old trilogy featuring characters from the expanded Star Wars universe.
This rumoured Star Wars MMO game by LucasArts will supposedly be released on PC and consoles. It was also pointing out that LucasArts has another MMO in development that is not based on the Star Wars universe.

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 the other guy... hh- i have question... is this SW:The Old Republic only online game???? i've heard that is just online game.....
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..
