BioWare and LucasArts present the new MMORPG The Old Republic
The most-known secret of the videogaming industry has finally been officialized. During the press-conference held yesterday, LucasArts and BioWare have presented the MMORPG based on the Knights of The Old Republic universe, and it seems to be a very ambitious project.
It will be a highly-narrative RPG, although still based on the usual MMO settings: with the possibility of PvP, raids and PvE. The story takes place 300 years before the first two Knight of The Old Republic games, in a period where the Sith still dominate the galaxy with a dark empire.
According to Jeff Dobson from BioWare, the Old Republic MMORPG is the most ambitious project he’s ever worked with. The developers are aiming for a very detailed graphic setting, especially when it comes to the detail level of each object that will be part of the game. Despite that, it’s being developed to work well in a wide range of PC specifications, from those more standard to those more advanced, with obviously different results.
There’s not even an approximate launch date yet, but BioWare has stated that there will be, at some point, a beta version. For now, the game’s aimed for PC only, and no mention of console versions have been made.
Here are some of the screenshots that have been published on the official site, where you can also find the rest of them.
