Bioware and Lucasarts have announced a new MMO for you to be sucked into and possibly die from: Star Wars: The Old Republic. The MMO will take place in the Old Republic, 300 years after KOTOR 2 and 3500 years before the films. There will be two factions to choose from, the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic, each with their own sub-classes. EA will publish the games, and a release date has not been announced.

On October 21, around 2 PM Pacific Time, Bioware and Lucasarts will announce a new game. The screen above shows the invitation to an unveiling of the game. Rampant speculation about what the actual game will be include a new MMORPG based on the Knights of the Old Republic series that was on Xbox, a sequel to Knights of the Old Republic, or a totally new IP based on the New Republic Star Wars universe. Either way, Bioware’s history of games have been pretty much solid gold (Sonic was actually pretty good!) and Lucasarts knows how to use the Star Wars franchise to their advantage (ie. The Force Unleashed), so I’m really looking forward to this announcement. Then again, so is everyone else still drooling over Leia’s slave bikini outfit.
