Star Wars: The Old Republic, the new massively multiplayer online role playing game coming from Electronic Arts and BioWare is still scheduled for a late 2011 release, according to EA. On Electronic Art's earnings phone call, Frank Gibeau, President of EA said, "the subscription-based MMO is captivating critics and fans in the beta test," and "that the company currently has over one million double-opt-in beta testers for the game."
When asked about the one thing that is on everyone's mind, an actual release date for the fully-voiced MMORPG, Gibeau refused to announce the date for two reasons: "We don't want to tip off the competition," and "We want more data from the beta test." He said that beta tests for MMOs generally run for six-months and that SW:TOR was on schedule.
That said, EA fully expects to launch Star Wars: The Old Republic in 2011 which should please those of you who got the unfortunate Mass Effect 3 delay news earlier today. However, covering all their bases EA also said, "While we fully anticipate launching Star Wars: The Old Republic in Q2 or Q3, the low end of our guidance range assumes the outside possibility of a January launch." Meaning while we should definitely hope to see SWTOR this year, EA is financially ready if it hits in January instead.
Are you still jazzed for SWTOR? If you're still on the fence, be sure to check back tomorrow morning for our latest Star Wars: The Old Republic preview.

If getting this sooner means I have to wait on Mass Effect 3, then so be it.

Ya know I'm pretty tired of waiting for the game. I'm sick of these little updates about each class. I miss the days when the only time you heard about a game was when it was actually finished. It's kind of like my hate for Brink. We heard about that game like 2 years ago, it's on the verge of being released, I don't care anymore. There have been a ton of shooters between first hearing about it and now. The tech is old, the concept is old. Who cares.

I still say they'll announce the release date at E3; but if i were to bet money on the date, i'd put it at 9/16/11. The reason being is simple, that's the same day that the Entire Star Wars Sage comes out on Blu-ray. and what better way to rack in 4x the amount of cash then to release the game at the same time the Movies come out again

To sum up this article: SWTOR has taken MassEffect3's release date.

Mass Effect is NOT on the same level as this game.. SW is an amazing MMO that will be the new king.. I know I have been playing it 2 1/2 years now in Alpha and Beta..

It needs to come out this year if it doesn't want to mix up with Mass Effect 3 ratings but that's my opinion.

This game is going to redefine the word epic

I wish game Companies would just not say Release Dates/Time Tables until the game was pretty much finished. There's no need for a game like ME3 to be said to release near November 9 months prior to date and then 2 months later 'delayed'.
Just don't tell us and we can't be upset/insulted by the fact that Game Developers can't meet deadlines.

I want to be jazzed about this game but there is some nasty things that have been said about this game floating around out there on the inter-webs. So I have a wait to see policy, besides most MMOs don't get good till a 6 months to a year after launch.
