Developer BioWare has insisted hotly anticipated massively multiplayer online role-playing PC game Star Wars: The Old Republic “should not be” on retailer listings for the Xbox 360.
Yesterday VG247 claimed the MMO was on an internal release list from UK retailer GAME as coming out for the 360 at “TBC-2011”.
However, BioWare has moved quickly to respond to the suggestion, saying “we should not be on there”.
In a post on the game’s official forums, community manager Sean Dahlberg said: “I know many of you have heard this before but I’ll go ahead and reiterate it for those of you who may be new:
“Star Wars: The Old Republic is currently being developed for the personal computer (PC) using the Microsoft® Windows® operating system. While we recognize that there are other operating systems and platforms available for games today, our development is specific to the personal computer using the Windows operating system at this time.
“As to why The Old Republic is on that list, we have no idea but to allay any confusion, we should not be on there.”
Dahlberg’s comments are interesting, not least because he refrains from outright denying the existence of an Xbox 360 version of the game. However, his post does pour cold water on the rumour, which was getting Xbox 360 owners excited indeed.
EA recently pushed back the PC version of the game to a “spring 2011” launch window. For the latest hands-on previews, screens and videos, head over to our Star Wars: The Old Republic game page.
