According to IGN, MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic will soon go third-party. EA, the game’s publisher, wants developer BioWare to focus their efforts on Mass Effect and Dragon Age.
We’re evaluating how we give the game and the team the best opportunity to grow and evolve, which includes conversations with Broadsword, a boutique studio that specializes in delivering online, community-driven experiences.
Former Mythic Entertainment co-founder and BioWare VP Rob Denton runs Broadsword Online and also worked on Star Wars: The Old Republic in its early days.
