If a report is to be believed, we may be playing Star Wars: The Old Republic next year. French fan Web site Star Wars-Universe is reporting that the ambitious MMO will drop in October 2010. In the piece, the release information is said to come from a Lucas Arts source person. That part might not be true.
Speaking with Destructoid, LucasArts senior PR manager Adam Kahn confirmed that a release date has yet to be announced. He also mentioned no one tied to the project announced a release either.
“There has been no release date announced for The Old Republic, from anyone related to the project,” Kahn said via e-mail.
Of course, the game could launch in September 2010. That part of the larger question Kahn, understandably, didn’t clarify. But whenever we do score the delicious details, we'll let you know.

I'm still doubtful though.
Also, until Bioware officially gives me a release date, speculation is meaningless. Even official release dates usually mean nothing, with the way things are always pushed back.
I am really looking forward for this one.
I have never tried an MMO, I don't really like multiplayer and I don't like not having permanent access to my game, but for a Bioware/Lucasarts combo I will probably try it.
I love you.

How do you figure? Both require an internet connection?
