Next project to be revealed October 21 -- a KotoR MMO?
There has been much speculation since E3 that LucasArts and BioWare would be working together on a Knight of the Old Republic MMO, but the two companies have never actually confirmed anything.
On October 21, LucasArts and BioWare will be unveiling their joint development project to the press, likely at LucasArts' San Francisco office. Nothing Star Wars-related was mentioned in the invitation issued to various media outlets, only an obscure declaration that "the wait is over." If nothing else, there's a good chance this game is going to be sci-fi. Perhaps actually mentioning Star Wars would have been too forward of them?
John Riccitiello, CEO of Electronic Arts, already announced the existence of a KotoR MMO during E3.
"We've got two of the most compelling MMOs in the industry in development," he said, referring to Warhammer Online and Knights of the Old Republic. "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."
