Star Wars: The Old Republic, abbreviated TOR, is a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game set in the Old Republic era, and is currently under development by BioWare, a division of Electronic Arts. The game was first officially announced in an October 30, 2007 press release, though details were vague. On October 21, 2008, the title of the game was revealed, in addition to a fair amount of detail about the game in a press conference. A novel, released around the same time as the game, will cover the story behind it.

PC Gamer visits BioWare for a world exclusive first look at Star Wars: The Old Republic

Posted by on

Recently, the folks from PC Gamer paid a visit to BioWare’s Austin office for an exclusive look at Star Wars™: The Old Republic™. Now you can check out the Holiday Edition of PC Gamer and learn about the latest content developments, view exclusive screenshots, and read interviews with Creative Director James Ohlen, Principal Lead Writer Daniel Erickson, and BioWare Co-Founders Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk.

Here’s a snippet from the article:

For Ohlen, this project is about realizing the perpetual RPG he’s dreamed of since working on Baldur’s Gate: “I always wanted a space where I could, as a player, go and play my RPG forever. I’ve got those characters, I’ve got my stuff, and I’m just going to keep having adventures in this world. Even sequel RPGs start over, right? Now, it’s new charac­ters in a new place, and we’re going to start you at level 1. You never get that campaign feel. My first thought when they brought up the idea that we were going to do this story- based RPG was, ‘Wow, we can actually have this, a place where I can go with my friends and have these adventures and do these stories, and we can keep doing it'.”
