Star Wars: The Old Republic release date announced
The MMO from EA and BioWare is coming this December
Today during the Eurogamer Expo, Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk, co-founders of BioWare, announced that Star Wars: The Old Republic will launch in North America on December 20, 2011 and in Europe on December 22, 2011.
Set thousands of years before the rise of Darth Vader, Star Wars: The Old Republic is an MMO challenging players with quests, featuring dynamic combat across iconic worlds in the Star Wars galaxy such as Tatooine, Alderaan, Hoth and more. Each of the game’s eight primary classes will enjoy their own trilogy of storylines, all of which are fully voiced.
“In 1977, Lucasfilm created magic with the release of Star Wars. Our goal is to capture some of that magic when we go live with Star Wars: The Old Republic on December 20,” said Ray Muzyka, Co-Founder. “This is an incredible moment for everyone at BioWare and our partners at LucasArts who have dedicated so much of their lives to building this extraordinary game.”
Greg Zeschuk added, “We appreciate the patience of the millions of fans who have been waiting for the game’s release. When we launch this groundbreaking MMO with world class storytelling this holiday season, we hope you will agree that it was worth the wait.”
Star Wars: The Old Republic is available for pre-order now at participating retailers while supplies last. All players who pre-order will receive a redemption code that will unlock Early Game Access, granting them access to the game before December 20, 2011 in North America and before December 22, 2011 in Europe.
