De fleste havde ellers indstillet sig på at Electronic Arts’, LucasArts’ (EA) BioWares Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) meget vel først ville ankomme i løbet af det nye år, men BioWares Ray Muzyka og Greg Zeschuk kunne i forbindelse med Eurogamer Expo fortælle, at de Star Wars-glade gamere med hang til MMO’er får sig en tidlig julegave. SWTOR vil blive lanceret den 22. december her i Europa og to dage før i Nordamerika. Blizzards beslutning om at skyde udgivelsen af Diablo III ind i det nye år, kan også meget vel have påvirket beslutningen om at gøre SWTOR tilgængelig ved juletid.

Er osse helt i EA’s ånd at haste et produkt som ikke er helt færdigt på gaden.
