While we’ve already heard about the upcomingKnights of the Old RepublicMMO – both from theleaked scriptandangry ex-employees– there’s been no word on a possible release date. Until now, that is.
Speaking to investors at a recent stock conference, EA CEO John Riccitello let slip mention of the upcoming MMO that they might be co-publishing with LucasArts.
“It’s giving us strong new entries in online. For example, we’re funding the MMO in Austin, which is helping us a lot.”
As TotalVideoGamespoints out, the only EA-owned studio in that area is BioWare’s MMORPGsatellite studio. BioWare is seen as the most likely candidate to be developing the game. Coincidence? Maybe, but it still seems somewhat likely. At least EA shouldn’t feel the need to include any ridiculously lamecopy protection, since it’s an MMO.
