BioWare's Star Wars MMO to Be Revealed on Oct 21?

18
Following rumors that BioWare will be unveiling its new Knights of the Old Republic MMO later this month, BioWare and LucasArts have announced that they will be holding an event to reveal a new project on October 21.

The event, to take place at LucasArts' offices in San Francisco, promises "the official unveiling of the game that's been rumored about for years," according to Gamasutra.

After months of speculation, Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitello spilled the beans on the new Star Wars MMO during an interview at E3.

Since then, rumors have circulated regarding when the companies might officially announce the game. Last week, a columnist for the UK paper The Daily Star teased that he would be filing a report on the title later this month.

    Would have been much cooler if we got a Mass Effect MMO. I'm sick and tired of star wars, and to be frank, the mass effect IP is much more interesting and 'real'.

      But it isn't starwars.
      Star Wars is guaranteed BUX. And since it's bioware, it should be top notch work. KotOR 1 and 2 were both superb.

        KOTOR 2 was made by Obsidian, not Bioware.

        But agreed, Star Wars will pull people in on name recognition alone. Just look at S:TFU

        I think I just filled the cup.

        Aside from a Warhammer 40k MMO (which is being worked on), this is probably my favorite idea.

        Yes. This. IF you can pry the rights away from Microsoft.
