Star Wars: The Old Republic, being developed and published by BioWare and LucasArts,
represents an innovative approach to interactive entertainment, featuring immersive
storytelling, dynamic combat and intelligent companion characters.
In Star Wars: The Old Republic, players will explore an age thousands of years before the
rise of Darth Vader when war between the Old Republic and the Sith Empire divides the
galaxy. Players can choose to play as Jedi, Sith, or a variety of other classic Star Wars roles,
defining their personal story and determining their path down the light or dark side of the
Force. Along the way, players will befriend courageous companions who will fight at their
side or possibly betray them, based on the players’ actions. Players can also choose to team
up with friends to battle enemies and overcome incredible challenges using dynamic Star
Wars combat.
"Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is the most critically acclaimed Star Wars game in
LucasArts history and a preeminent example of our company’s interactive storytelling
heritage," said Darrell Rodriguez, President of LucasArts. "For a long time, we’ve long wanted
to return to the franchise in a grand way, and we felt that the best setting for it was an online
world that would allow millions of people to participate in the experience together. We knew
that the developer capable of working with us to deliver an engrossing story with a fully-
realized online world was BioWare."
"Traditionally, massively multiplayer online games have been about three basic gameplay
pillars - combat, exploration and character progression," said Dr. Ray Muzyka, Co-Founder
and General Manager/CEO of BioWare and General Manager/Vice President of Electronic
Arts Inc., "In Star Wars: The Old Republic, we’re fusing BioWare’s heritage of critically-
acclaimed storytelling with the amazing pedigree of Lucasfilm and LucasArts, and adding a
brand-new fourth pillar to the equation – story. At the same time, we will still deliver all the fun
features and activities that fans have come to expect in a AAA massively multiplayer online
game. To top it all off, Star Wars: The Old Republic is set in a very exciting, dynamic period in
the Star Wars universe."
