The time that we have all been waiting for is upon us. In a presentation in London, Doctors Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk announced that Star Wars: The Old Republic will release to the world in December. Specifically, North America will see it on December 20th and the European territories will see it two days later on December 22nd. Along with the information about the release date, which in and ... more.

Coming on the tail of the announcement of pre-ordering, EA and BioWare announced today that they are finally getting ready for their beta which can only mean that the game is in the beginning stages of release. According to a press release posted this morning, The Old Republic will “open Beta Test Weekends” starting this September. These weekend play sessions will be open to selected player... more.

The time has come, my fellow TOR fans, for us to pre-order the game that we have all been waiting for. Since December of 2008—albeit with a few breaks in between—I’ve watched and waited, hungry for information as to when this game would come out. And now it seems, we’ve finally reached that point. According to a press release released by EA, and quite a few ads popping up on a bunch of ... more.

In the latest issue of Star Wars Insider #117, we get a first hand look at what the novel, Revan, by Drew Karpyshyn is going to be all about. While it is obviously not the entire story, what they do share is quite revealing and definitely very interesting. If you're someone that is a big fan of Star Wars: The Old Republic, this excerpt is definitely worth a read. And, it's just like other stuff... more.

Epic! That's pretty much all I can say about this one. Since it is E3 (how times flies), we all knew that we could expect to see some sort of a trailer released by BioWare.And, as the first word says, it really is epic. You've got the guy captured for smuggling Sith artifacts and then suddenly, the Empire appears to mess everything up. For a trailer, it's amazing. No, I take that back...For everyt... more.

While I haven't really been posting all that much here, I've been trying to keep up with the news in my spare time. What's become increasingly exciting is all of these different progression movies that show what each character is going to evolve in to depending on the route that you take. Bioware released their trooper progression today and as expected, it was quite enjoyable. It starts off wit... more.

As we all know based on what I predicted months ago and based on what Drew said on his blog, he has been commissioned to write a Star Wars: The Old Republic novel that will, if all goes according to plan, be released right around when the game is released. Before today, all we knew about the book was that it was about Revan and what happened after the end of Knights of the Old Republic. Conside... more.

Since we now know that there is space combat in TOR, there hasn't been all that much information available to our little eyes. However, every once in a while, BioWare shows us a little bit more about what space combat is likely going to be like. On top of that, they show us what ships are going to look like. That's what this weeks Friday release showed us. It showed us what goes into making one... more.

BioWare announced on Friday three new biography additions to the holonet that are filling in the holes about who is who and which side has which characters. As the short news release says, "Make sure you know who’s who in the galaxy – you never know when such information can pay off." Ya never know. There are three people showed. The first is Supreme Chancellor Janarus. You have to give cre... more.

Last Friday, BioWare released its latest edition of the Timeline. This one was titled the Fall of Exar Kun. In this, we get some first hand information into who Exar Kun is and his fall to the Dark Side. While there have been other reports about Exar Kun, this might be the correct one considering LucasArts has a lot of say in the way this game is going. However, there are two key things to take fr... more.
