BioWare’s Star Wars: The Old Republic is likely to launch in the second half of this year, but EA can’t rule out the game slipping into January 2012.
During EA’s earnings call last night, chief financial officer Eric Brown said: “While we fully anticipate launching Star Wars: The Old Republic in Q2 or Q3 [2011], the low end of our guidance range assumes the outside possibility of a January [2012] launch.”
EA president Frank Gibeau added: “Everyone is waiting for us to announce the ship date… sorry, but that’s not going to happen today. We’re holding the date for two reasons – first, we don’t want to tip off the competition; second, we want more data from the beta test to guarantee a spectacular experience at launch.”
We can’t imagine EA wanting both Mass Effect 3 and Star Wars: The Old Republic hitting retail in the early part of 2012, so we anticipate the MMO will arrive towards the back end of this year.
