Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello confirmed it to reporters at E3 this week, according to Portfolio’s Tech Observer blog:
“We’ve got two of the most compelling MMOs in the industry in development,” said Riccitiello. The first title, based on the Warhammer property, will launch soon. “And the one that people are dying for us to talk to them about — in partnership with Lucas, coming out of BioWare, which is, I think, quite possibly the most anticipated game, full stop, for the industry at the point when we get closer to telling you about it.”
Does Riccitiello mean the oft rumored Knights of the Old Republic Online? “Yes,” he said.
But LucasArts told TFN “nope”. Covering for an official annoucement at Celebration Japan or SDCC? Or is is really all wishful thinking yet again?
The TIE fighter model in the Profiles in History auction is expected to fetch up to £100,000, the highest-priced (or, well, estimated) item in the collection. That’s about about $200,000 American. Gotta love the exchange rate… The Crusade Grail is only expected to go for about £12,500, or $25,000.

Okay KOTOR 3 junkies, here’s your tip for the day: ‘Interactive entertainment and software,’ ‘namely computer game software’ and ‘entertainment services provided online.’ What could it be? Whatever is it, LFL trademarked the names Star Wars The Old Republic, Star Wars Sagas‘ and ‘Star Wars Legends‘ a week or so ago, all filed with similar wording.
If the links above don’t work, they’ll turn up if you search the United States Patent and Trademark Office trademark database. (via EUC and Starwars Universe.)
It contains all the lightsaber-wracking we’ve come to expect, but is
actually fairly plotty.
And while I’m posting gaming news, something something Battlefront III?
