KOTOR III Confirmed for 2009

All fans of KOTOR will rejoice The game has been confirmed for a third chapter in the series. The game is being produced by Bioware and being published by EA and were kind enough to spread a little info to a select few of employees at the E3 event. No news on a console release but its sure to be a amazing RPG. Bioware is currently hiring people in certain fields to help in aid of the games production. John Riccitiello has stated Co-op is one of the games main focuses and this could mean a online feature. The game has no specific release date but its certain to be released sometime around next spring or summer.

"For a while we've heard both official and unofficial talk about two Bioware projects: a partnership with Lucasarts for a game, and an MMO for which the developer opened a satellite studio in Austen, Texas in 2006. Recently, Bioware parent company Electronic Arts revealed that they are the same same, a Knights of the Old Republic MMO.
EA CEO John Riccitiello revealed the game in speaking to CONDE Nast's Portfolio.com. Riccetiello said that EA has "two of the most compelling MMOs in the industry in development. The first titled, based on the Warhammer property, will launch soon. And the one people are dying for us to talk to them about in partnership with lucasARts coming out of bioware , which is, I think, quite possibly the most anticipaited game, full stop, for the industry at the point when we get closer to telling you about it." When asked if he was refferring to a KOTOR MMO. Riccitello replied, "Yes."
