Since pretty much all the current staff of TMB plays Massively Multiplayer Online games (World of Warcraft) and Star Wars is a movie… The International Friends get to hear about this. Deal.
Star Wars is getting an MMO developed by the same people that created Knights of the Old Republic, by far the most popular and best received game in the Star Wars library. So it would make sense that Bioware would be behind an attempt to ressurect the online gaming community in the Star Wars world.
Official Star Wars Old Republic game
LucasArts and BioWare™, a division of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS), today announced the development of Star Wars®: The Old Republic™, a story-driven massively multiplayer online PC game set in the timeframe of the Star Wars®: Knights of the Old Republic™ franchise. Star Wars: The Old Republic, being developed and published by BioWare and LucasArts, represents an innovative approach to interactive entertainment, featuring immersive storytelling, dynamic combat and intelligent companion characters.
This is the worst kept secret in the gaming industry. A while back BioWare sent out job openings for an unnamed MMO, and Sony was drawing close to the end of their deal for supporting the relative failure of the Star Wars MMO, it just made sense.
So now its out in the open, and all official like. I look forward to seeing how it plays out.
Ok. You can go back to movie news about movies now…
