SW Knights of the Old Republic 3

Filed under: Games — Elrik at 4:52 pm on Tuesday, March 27, 2007

UPDATE July 2008: it has been reportedly confirmed that KOTOR 3 is under development and will be an MMO.

Even though Star Wars gaming headlines have been dominated by Lucasarts’ announcement about its upcoming release Force Unleashed, I thought I would post here in regards to another highly anticipated game – Knights of the Old Republic 3 (Kotor 3).

Both Lucasarts and Obsidian Entertainment (creators of Kotor 2 – The Sith lords) have confirmed their intention to go ahead with the project (check the links below) without making a specific announcement about its release date. Not surprisingly, the Star Wars gaming community is buzzing with anticipation as many Kotor forums have already been filled with Kotor 3 prediction threads.

Recently Lucas Fan Network (LFN) owners Aristotle and Visac were interviewed by StarWarsKnights.com where they had the chance of describing their working relationship with Lucasarts and their unique opportunity of previewing upcoming Star Wars releases.

When asked about the possibility of seeing Kotor 3 soon, both men denied making any comments about it since they are bound by Lucasarts Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). At the same time, they didn’t deny its existence and added that more information will be available soon.
Who knows? Maybe Kotor 3 is closer than we think…

[...] Computer and Video Games (CVG) recently posted a story in relation to Bioware’s secret project, a new MMO set to be based on the Knights of the Old Republic (Kotor) era. Even though the rumor has not been confirmed by any official source it definitely puts a new spin to recent stories about a new game based on the Kotor series. [...]

I never have and never will understand the reason for all the cloak and dagger that surrounds up and comming games, especially games that many thousands of people want to know about…

What’s wrong with people know that a game is under development? Why can’t they make a small website telling people what is been done, showing concept art and apeasing peoples minds?

Imagine how cool it would be to control the exile and revan at the same time, That would be the coolest thing they could do with kotor 3 espically because kotor 2 was disapointing without revan in it.

i hope that revan is reunited with bastila and his whole story is completed who did he go to find in his solitude and are they the sith that go to become the menace in the films and how does revan die is he betrayed or become one with the force

Hello, if kotor 3 is going ahead it must relate to both of the last 2 games and have a great interest in revan, and our custom character in kotor 2. I also believe you should make a light sabers fully customizable like in Jedi academy, the metal on it and its colour. it would also be cool if you made dark side characters faces and body feratures change more like darth sidious face… :) Oh and 1 big factors me and other fans had was that they wnated a hooded robe, and possibly the chance to change hair styles and boots.

I recently heard, though I’m not able to say where or by whom, that KOTOR 3 IS in devolpment and its release is planned around the holliday season of 08.

There is an MMO in devolopment based on the same timeline as the KOTOR series, but it will be released with it’s own name and as a seperate title.

Both Bioware, and Obsidian are involved with the projects. My source did not specify which company is working on what, or to what degree.

My source further commented that a un-mentioned third party is also being used by Lucas Arts to flesh out the final product. Though the source was vauge as to what specific service or resource this third party was providing.

Here’s hoping that KOTOR 3 will be worth the wait. If Lucasarts is listening, please don’t make KOTOR 3 into a crappy MMO. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it…

In this month’s issue of Game Informer magazine the head of Bioware just announced that a KOTOR MMO is in production and nearly complete. So that means my source has been half-acurate so far. Hopefully a non-mmo KOTOR III RPG is also in devolpment, as my source claimed.

Here’s hoping…

I think they should just make it for things most people play like the xbxo and 360 and those good things instead of on the internet that you have to download and possiably buy
