The Lucasarts website has released a new press release today in conjunction with Bioware. The press release announces that the two companies will be collaborating on "an interactive entertainment product". While it should be noted that there is no specific mention of an MMORPG, but the mysterious announcement does come at a time when speculation about BioWare's Austin's MMO being the much-prophesized Knights of the Old Republic MMORPG is at an all-time high. Managing Editor Jon Wood contacted Lucasarts this morning and was told that at this time, they "aren't releasing any details about the actual product". SAN FRANCISCO, CA and EDMONTON, CANADA -- October 30, 2007 -- LucasArts and BioWare Corp. today announced that they have entered into an agreement to create an interactive entertainment product. The product, details of which will be unveiled at a later date, will be developed and published by BioWare and LucasArts, and will push the boundaries of the gaming market by utilizing the strengths of both companies to deliver an innovative, high-quality experience. "LucasArts has a deep commitment to developing compelling stories and characters for the unique medium of interactive entertainment, and we have been searching for a developer that shares this value.

I think it would be hilarious if it was some type of interactive program for the new TV series of Star Wars that Lucas is supposed to be making. Or even funnier if it was a Pirate game... Monkey Island Online. Currently playing: LOTRO & WoW (not much WoW though because Mines of Moria rocks!!!!) Looking Foward too: Bioware games (Dragon Age & Star Wars The Old Republic)

Hello KoTOR Online, Goodbye SWG! If it is KoTOR Online this would be the final nail in the coffin of SWG, may she rest in peace.

Oh and the next piece of the jigsaw would be when estimated release date will be & Smedley can finally rest in peace .

Hey thanks for the update Stradden ^_^. I'm still doing the wait and see thing, but I can't help hoping another company is given stewardship of the StarWars saga for the MMO game genre. It would be very nice to see the story and its history--along with its fans--treated with honesty, integrity and a shared love for what's become a modern day classical mythology. If it's a StarWars MMO, that'll be great. If it's a StarWars MMO that doesn't delete professions, years of quest progress, change core game mechanics unexpectedly, or sell an expansion for the game system they're planning to delete within a few weeks, that'll be priceless ^_^.

If it's Bioware and they are working on a Star Wars title, I'll be happy no matter what it is. Fps, MMO, RPG, whetever... It'll be awesome. Obviously, looks at sig I hope it's going to be a MMO "You'll find a great many of the truths we cling to depend greatly upon our point of view."

Originally posted by Cabe2323 I think it would be hilarious if it was some type of interactive program for the new TV series of Star Wars that Lucas is supposed to be making. I think that is a strong possibility actually. And that is why... Conservatives' pessimism is conducive to their happiness in three ways. First, they are rarely surprised -- they are right more often than not about the course of events. Second, when they are wrong they are happy to be so. Third, because pessimistic conservatives put not their faith in princes -- government -- they accept that happiness is a function of fending for oneself. They believe that happiness is an activity -- it is inseparable from the pursuit of happiness.
