Star Wars: The Old Republic still has no firm release date, however the MMO’s game director James Ohlen explains it’s because they are waiting until the game is bug-free and likely to have a smooth launch.
Speaking to Newsarama, Ohlen said:
“Yeah, we know we have a ton of hype. Right now, we have a ton of hype and that puts a lot of pressure on us, because we want to make sure we deliver on that with a game that’s really high quality and is going to blow our fans away, and is also going to make the team proud.
“That’s also why we’ve not been giving specific release dates right now. We don’t want to give a specific release date until we’re absolutely certain that when we launch the game it’ll be a smooth launch and a bug-free experience.
“It would be terrible if we released and the servers fell down or there was a bug that detracted from the overall experience. It’d be terrible for Star Wars fans, they’d be really sad, cause they’re excited about it as shown by the pre-order numbers, and it’d be disappointing for team members.
“People like myself, I’ve been on this project for six years. I want it to live up to the expectations.”
President of EA Games Label, Frank Gibeau, has said it’s likely by September the firm will be in a position to give a hard ship date.
