How will KOTOR's gameplay transfer into the MMO genre? Will it be radically redesigned? News as and when it comes
John Riccitiello, the president of Electronic Arts, has confirmed that BioWare's 'secret' massively multiplayer online game (MMO) is indeed based on the Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) franchise.
"We've got two of the most compelling MMOs in the industry in development," Riccitiello enthused. The first, incidentally, is Warhammer Online, due for release sometime in the 'fall'.
"And the one that people are dying for us to talk to them about," he added, "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."
After this rather over the top statement, he said he was indeed talking about a KOTOR MMO.
