May the farce be with you
tar Wars: The Old Republic, the MMO launched in 2011, is
reportedly switching development studios. The PC game's original team at
BioWare may soon turn it over to Broadsword Online Games.
IGN reports that the game's publisher Electronic Arts has made a tentative deal with Broadsword to take the reigns of Star Wars: The Old Republic, which may become final later in June. The deal is because BioWare, which is owned by EA, wants to concentrate on its upcoming new Dragon Age and Mass Effect games.
Broadsword Online Games currently operates and maintains two of EA's older PC MMO titles: Ultima Online and Dark Age of Camelot. IGN reports that over half of BioWare's current Star Wars: The Old Republic team will transfer to Broadsword once development of the game makes that switch. The remaining team members may be offered other jobs at EA, but if none are available some team members could face layoffs.
