Keith Kanneg Takes over as Game Producer

Star Wars: The Old Republic has had a changing of the guard. Now-former Game Producer Ben Irving has moved on to another BioWare project with Keith Kanneg taking over the role from now on. Kanneg was formerly the Director of Live Services for SWTOR, so he is familiar with the inner workings of the team.

In a new letter on the SWTOR site, Kanneg provides a bit of history with the company and what his vision is for the future of the game:

As the Game Producer for SWTOR, I help guide and influence the development team to continually improve the gameplay experience for everyone. Regardless of your play style, there’s a lot we have planned for all of us this year. We’ll have fun activities for you whether you’re a player who loves Star Wars™ stories, or the veteran who is looking for new challenges and more options to play with friends, or if you simply want to play on your own. Look for the SWTOR Roadmap in the coming weeks where we’ll offer insight about what’s happening this year and what you can expect in the coming months.
