KOTOR goes MMO!

As E3 was winding down today, EA's CEO John Riccitello had one final big announcement. The KOTOR series will now officially expand into MMO territory. It is set for release sometime in 2009 and is being developed by original KOTOR developer, Bioware, in collaboration with Lucas Arts.

The two original KOTOR games were both critically acclaimed and since their release many fans have speculated on the possibility of an MMO. With the hopes of the large KOTOR fanbase confirmed, 2009 may have a top contender for MMORPG of the year. In fact, John Riccitello stated it may be "quite possibly the most anticipated game, full stop, for the industry."
