It’s a very exciting time at BioWare as today we are announcing one of the most anticipated Massive Multiplayer Role Playing Games (MMORPG), Star Wars™: The Old Republic™.

Star Wars: The Old Republic brings together BioWare and LucasArts, co-creators of one of the most critically acclaimed RPGs Star Wars™: Knights of the Old Republic™ as we plan to bring it to the massively multiplayer online space.

We are thrilled to be announcing the game that will bring the 4th pillar, real emotion and a meaningful story, to the MMORPG space. At BioWare, we’ve always been committed to crafting rich, deep worlds and emotionally engaging stories and characters and our goal for Star Wars: The Old Republic is to bring that vision to the MMORPG genre.

This is only the beginning of our announcements on Star Wars: The Old Republic and we hope you’ll join us for this journey. We can’t wait to share more with you in the coming months as we plan to showcase new game features and story details. Meanwhile, please explore the official Star Wars: The Old Republic website and join our community to learn more about our other upcoming titles at BioWare!

May the Force be with you…

Bioware has a knack of getting it right which they are going to need following the train wreck that Galaxies was and is.

So True. If Bioware is one of those companies that years ago, came out of nowhere, I mean that literaly, they where up in Nowhere Canada or something. Then took us all by storm with the Baldurs gate. etc.

I hope they continue on the traditions that as a company they have started.

One thing they have already done right is the era that the game takes place in.

My only worry about Bioware keeping to tradition is EA getting stupid and destroying that tradition.
