Star Wars: The Old Republic approaches launch

Early game access program begins December 13th for preorders

Posted on
BioWare is now making final preparations for Star Wars: The Old Republic launch on December 20, 2011 in North America and on December 15th in Europe.

The developers revealed today that Early Game Access for players who pre-order the game will begin on December 13, 2011 at 6:00 AM CST, giving some players as much as a seven-day head start. To participate in the Early Game Access program, customers must pre-order any version of Star Wars: The Old Republic and redeem their code online before the official launch of the game.

During the weekend of November 25 – November 28, 2011, over 725,000 unique gamers participated in a Beta test for the game, logging in over 9 million hours of gameplay. With two weeks to go until launch, more than 78,000 guilds have participated in the Pre-Launch Guild Program and over 2.4 million players are registered on the game’s official web site.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is a go for launch on December 20,” said Dr. Greg Zeschuk, Co-Founder of BioWare and General Manager of the BioWare label’s MMO Business Unit. “We are extremely humbled by the surge of players who have joined us on this journey and participated in the Beta Weekend. Their participation has given us the opportunity to stress test the game and allowed us to tune the experience, ensuring that we deliver the smoothest possible MMO launch later this month.”

Set thousands of years before the classic films, Star Wars: The Old Republic is a massively multiplayer online game challenging players with quests, featuring dynamic combat across iconic worlds in the Star Wars galaxy.

Included with the purchase of every copy of Star Wars: The Old Republic is 30 days of access to the game, after which players can continue to play through subscribing at either $14.99 per month, $41.97 for 3 months ($13.99 per month), or $77.94 for six months ($12.99 per month).
