One of the impressive developments actually enables all the characters, even the player character, to speak, making The Old Republic the first fully voiced MMO title ever created. To bring these ambitious goals to life, BioWare turned to new technology. Star Wars: Old Republic pushing MMO game graphics to a new umiverse-and one that is familiar to players. Because this is a BioWare title, the MMO game has been designed to tell emotional stories involving evolving characters. It’s within this volatile setting that BioWare allows players to take center stage and become a hero. The Republic and Empire have signed a tenuous truce, but they’re at each other’s throats.
Star Wars: The Old Republic takes place thousands of years before the rise of Darth Vader and 300 hundreds years after Knights of the Old Republic. And there’s no bigger license out there than a certain galaxy far, far away. While the developer has expanded more recently into original IPs, such as Mass Effect and Dragon Age, the game maker has showed that it understands licensed material. In fact, BioWare has a strong history with LucasArts and with Star Wars, having worked with George Lucas’ games division on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic in the console space several years later. Starting in the early days working with the Dungeons & Dragons license, the game studio obliterated the need for pen and paper by immersing players in that fantasy universe with Baldur’s Gate.
And for fans of everything Star Wars as well as MMO gamers, that’s a good thing.Įlectronics Arts-owned BioWare has redefined the role-playing game (RPG) genre with each new title it rolls out.
Make no mistake about it, Star Wars: The Old Republic, the new massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) from acclaimed developer BioWare is nothing like Sony Online Entertainment and LucasArts’ Star Wars Galaxies of the same genre, which, after more than eight years, officially shut down this past December.
