Prime Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 http://www.businessweek.com/innovate/content/nov2006/id20061122_709907.htm?campaign_id=rss_daily Emphasis mine... “We feel like it’s really important to make each Star Wars game an event, she explains. “Our fans want a logical progression of the Star Wars story line, so we are committed to only two Star Wars experiences a year.” She adds, “There will be one mega one like Star Wars ’07 and another that might be somewhat more specific, for more of a specific Star Wars audience. So in 2007 our primary goal will be Star Wars ’07 and you will see us do add-ons to our Star Wars Galaxies (MMO) and you will likely see us do some sort of Star Wars handheld game.” Star Wars ’07 is the game that has been shown in tech demo form at a few conferences and via online clips. It looks great, as one would expect. Star Wars games, nowadays, are almost always good games. But what of the future, beyond next year? “In 2008 and 2009 we start to run into the Star Wars animated series and potentially the Star Wars live action TV series,” she says. “There’s been a lot of speculation about what we actually have in development and that’s very closely guarded. I would say that if there’s Star Wars television programming out there that we’ll have games.” MacIntyre continues, “We’ve also got Star Wars franchises like Knights of the Old Republic and Battle Front that we will not leave behind. It’s very important to us that we grow those franchises.” So the future of Str Wars includes new and old game-based IP as well as IP based on other spin-offs.

The Source Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Even though they didn't go into specifics, I am glad to hear that KotOR is being thought about. This is a very good sign. Now, fans will know that Lucas Arts is thinking about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Ell Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 This is the most substantial news we've had on KotOR in quite some time even if it's only an LEC exec saying that the KotOR series is an important part of LucasArts' plans. Isn't this worthy of a posting in swk.com's news section? Done! ~ Cz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimartin Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Something real. Prime you’ve renewed my hope. Thanks. now if i live long enough to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Kavar Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 That LucasArts specifically mentioned KotOR gives me some relief. Atleast now it doesn't feel like they've completly forgotten about their fan base, waiting patiently (ha!) for some kind of official announcement. That's far from a guarantee that KotOR III is in any kind of pre-production or has any plans to be, but atleast it's something. Now if we could get a tenative release date, that would great. Excellent find by the way Prime. Now let the speculations begin anew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Man Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Now we finally have some reason for hope. It seems like KOTOR III would be a long way off, however. Oh well, there's always NWN 2, Oblivion, and Mass Effect (when it comes out). And maybe by then, I'll have saved up enough money to get the dual core with the 1G video card and the 26 inch widescreen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balderdash Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 This is good news (stating the obvious lol). The fact that KotOR was the first speculated future SW game mentioned specifically, puts a smile on my face. I don't really want to have to wait that long, but if it's a real good game then it'll be more than worth it. Thanks for finding this by the way, Prime.

90SK Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Absolutely fantastic. Finally, some good news regarding KotOR III. Thanks for the update Prime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego Varen Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Well at least there is some light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks for the info Prime. Although for now, I'll stick with my Fic, Echoes of Darkness (Not KOTOR III, but it could be). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jediphile Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I guess KotOR3 in some far, far distant distant future is better than no news of KotOR3 at all... Still, it'll be a challenge to wait for it. The KotOR comic books are pretty good, but it's no substitute for closure to the fates of Revan, Exile and the true Sith... Any road, thanks for posting this, Prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick3333 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 So they're not dropping KotOR! Nice! That's all I needed to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Sweet! As Pottsie said, it's a light at the end of a tunnel. Well not to be pessimestic but that tunnel is pretty long and still a bit dark. Mostly it's from all the speculations and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arátoeldar Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Now we finally have some reason for hope. It seems like KOTOR III would be a long way off, however. Oh well, there's always NWN 2, Oblivion, and Mass Effect (when it comes out). And maybe by then, I'll have saved up enough money to get the dual core with the 1G video card and the 26 inch widescreen... Let's not forget The Witcher or Dragon Age. I am hoping that Star Wars 07 is the spiritual successor to the Dark Forces-Jedi Knight series. This is the best news I have heard in a month of Sundays.

Bob Lion54 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 This is great news. Still, this is far from a confirmation, but its good to hear a LA official say something other than "we're not sure," or "we have no plans for K3, at the moment." I wonder how long until they announce a developer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth InSidious Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 KIII won't be made. This person is quite clearly a lunatic. Great find Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
