Quote: A source close to BioWare confirmed to us today that the studio's upcoming untitled massively-multiplayer online RPG will be centered around the Star Wars universe, specifically that of Knights of the Old Republic, which the developer released in 2003. The game garnered critical acclaim and spawned a less-popular sequel, released by Obsidian two years later.

The game is being developed by the company's Austin studio, formed in 2006 and headed by BioWare Creative Director James Ohlen, whose past credits include the first KOTOR, Neverwinter Nights, and Baldur Gate's I and II.
Quote: It's currently unknown whether or not EA, which acquired BioWare last week, will act as publisher for this title, or if the studio had a previous arrangement with another publisher.

Expect the game sometime in 2009.

Found this in Neogaf. Also the person who wrote the article claim it is not a rumor.

I'd rather have a KOTOR 3 than a MMO in the same time era.

Interesting. I wonder if it will be cross platform? Could we possibly see players from the 360, Ps3 and the PC all together?

Kotor MMO would be nice. as long as Sony never ever ever ever ever gets their hands on it somehow.

SOE knows how to kill an MMO faster than Solo doing a Kessel run.

I'm pretty sure that's just the fanboy inside of you talking.

He's talking about Star Wars Galaxies that SOE ran into the ground with combat revamps and nerfs, nothing about that is a fanboy remark, SOE only cares about Everquest

Unless it's like Guild Wars I'm going to have to pass. I don't like monthly fees and I would prefer it be a single-player story focused game anyway. Not the biggest MMO fan in the world.

unlike you i purged the fanboy years ago.

i'm referring to the numerous MMOs sony has destroyed, if you want me to make you a list complete with links to articles and forums I will.

the only thing SOE ever did good in terms of MMOs --- was everquest 1 and 2, and that was mostly due to the developers making it clear that Sony was to publish, and not dictate / manipulate the game.

This is just going to be a game on the PS3, they aren't going to even develop it.

*sigh*

Pre-CU, Pre-NGE 4/4/4/4 Dark Jedi Gaurdian of Bloodfin server in Star Wars Galaxies here...

Star Wars MMO's set in the KOTOR universe are just going to suck bad...assuming they give everyone the option to become a jedi right off the bat. That, in my opinion, is just what absolutely ruined Galaxies which was by far the best MMO I've played, and I played WoW for 2 years to boot haha.

My Gaurdian took me a year and a half to perfect. I hope this one takes a similar route.

It was destroyed but diastrous unbalancing updates and the final one so changed the game that all those who hadn't quit finally did.

The best part of KOTOR (beside getting to dual whield a lightsaber) was its story. I get the felling the story would suffer on a MMO.

Bioware making a star wars MMO....this is def. interesting. Although I love Sony, they straight up F***** up Star Wars Galaxies. I mean how the hell can you f*** up something with a Star Wars name to it? The job is almost done for you. You already have a giant fan base. Just make an addicting game. But what happend? They f****** it up and lost everyone.

Same. I love KOTOR but I refuse to pay a subscription for online gaming, same for XBL now.

Another thing, wouldn't Lucasarts have the rights to it?

dude this could be awesome.

imagine KOTOR with way better graphics a big world with more game depth. even more customizable characters, with the same great story line but an action RPG like mass effect with also a huge online multiplayer with it.

that would be crazy. man i love bioware.

jjeezz it is like $50-$60 a year and you can get it at home from your own 360 dashboard. it is less than a price of a single game and it will make games like Gears of War and Halo 3 all your sport games, racing and fighting games way more fun playing against everybody in the world. Play with your friends or just message them, download the newest trailers get added on content to some of your games through XBOX live. so much you can do. you wouldnt really know what you were missing until after you had it.

everybody gets a free month or 2 free months i forgot with your xbox if you havent gotten your free gold membership then give it a try and i will bet you that you will be hooked.

Knights of the Old Republic was one of the better RPG's out there, regardless if you are a fan of starwars or not.. I am certainlly not a fan of the series, and I still found the game incredible.

...I'mnot really sure what I feel about this. More Kotor universe is awesome, more star wars by bioware is awesome but does this mean no more RPG's for the series? WoW killed the warcraft series in the form of story, characters ect. Will it happen again? I mean will we see a bit of text saying revan and the4 exile is dead? Will carth just be there to give us out starting missions? Will there be 7000 jedis running around?

I had a lot of fun with galaxies but like always Sony ruined it, lets hope bioware can pull it off.

Agreed. I wonder if they are even going bother making a class that is not a Jedi. If they give it a open %99 of the players are going be Jedi and if they make anti-Jedi classes that destroy easier the game won't be very popular because Jedis are basically what makes Star Wars so popular.

Regardless its not the fee that bothers the people.. Its the fact that it won't be a KOTOR game.... It will be another MMO set in the Starwars universe.. Thats a pretty large difference..

I had it for the xbox and I've tried Gears of War at a friends house online. Online gaming is not worth paying for when there's PSN and the PC. To keep on topic there needs to be more MMORPG's like Guild Wars, no fee's.

I'll be going with XBL Silver anyway, a great free service.

C'mon let's be honest with ourselves. The only time Guild Wars is Massively Multiplayer is when you're standing in town being spammed to death by a bunch of retards.

Well considering how poorly Galaxies has done over the years, when the KOTOR MMO gets released there would still only be one Star Wars MMO streaming revenue. :P

A 40 man raid on yourself....

These are the MMO's that completely failed under Sony's tutelage.

Vanguard : Saga of Heroes

Star Wars Galaxies

Planetside

3 games in the last decade. If that doesnt show something is wrong with SOE Online, then nothing does.

Hopefully Bioware played Star Wars Galaxies and takes the good from it, and rid the rest of the bad and make it a -good- MMO. Someone needs to do a Star Wars MMO right. And Bioware just may be the ones to do it.

3 games in the last decade. If that doesnt show something is wrong with SOE Online, then nothing does.

How can a MMO fail when people still play it?
