You will be old when The Old Republic comes out 13 Jan, 2010 / Comments: 8

By Jason


During an annoucement by EA that it was lowering its 2010 fiscal projections, CEO John Riccitiello seems to have indirectly referenced Star Wars: The Old Republic's release window:
Riccitiello also said that the company is planning to launch "our major new MMO"--presumably BioWare Austin's Star Wars: The Old Republic--in "spring 2011." It was unclear if he meant calendar year 2011, or EA's 2011 fiscal year, which ends on March 31, 2011.
Granted, it is indeed a presumption that he is referring to The Old Republic at all, since there are other possible EA-related MMO candidates. Still, given the lack of recent news on the project, I don't think many honestly expected to see The Old Republic before 2011 at this point.

Tingler Confirms: Kotaku confirms that Bioware confirms. So it's confirmed.

    Well, let's say that it's up there.

    The amazing Old Republic trailer came out in June last year, so judging from the above, the game might arrive 2 years after the trailer. Almost hard to believe, but not quite. LucasArts excel at PR disasters. Setting up a whole website with an epic trailer 2 years before the title's release is right up their alley.

    And... I'll bet my mojo account it gets cancelled before the end of this year too :)
