Lucas Arts Press Release About KOTOR MMORPG?

Lucas Arts and Bioware will be collaborating on a project described as "an interactive entertainment product."

Given the recent leak about a KOTOR MMORPG, it stands to reason that the product referenced should likely be this project. More importantly, the press release makes mention of Lucas Arts and Bioware jointly publishing the game. Let's hope that remains the case and they don't decide to farm it out to a company like Sony where it can possibly be ruined much like Star Wars: Galaxies.

Also included in the press release is a new web site where you can sign up for a Bioware account to stay informed about upcoming news about this joint venture. The new website is www.lucasartsbioware.com.

If you'd like to read the full press release you can find it at the joint website above or from Lucas Arts' site at LucasArts and BioWare Corp. to Create Ground-Breaking Interactive Entertainment Product.

I certainly hope this press release is about a KOTOR MMORPG, but even if it isn't, I can't really complain about Lucas Arts and BioWare collaborating on a new game. I've really enjoyed many of the products that both companies have previously produced, like Neverwinter Nights and Star Wars Galaxies (which was a really good game until Sony killed it). So, even if we don't see a KOTOR MMORPG out of this cooperative effort, we'll definitely see a good game.
