BioWare to team with Lucas Arts!

The Stratos Group has the low-down on this latest nugget of news. BioWare, makers of the Baldur’s Gate series, has joined with Lucas Arts to make a Star Wars game called – Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. A snippet for y’all….

KOR is, as most BioWare games are, a role-playing experience. There will be 6 classes, 3 races, and all the requisite characterization for the main character. KOR will be party-based, of course, but there are some changes. Most notably, the party will likely perform on their own, while you control the character of your choosing. And, the party now contains only three members as opposed to the normal six from preceding games. Much like other BioWare games there will be romances, and the game will revolve around the main character.

If you are a fan of Star Wars (which I am) and have enjoyed BioWare’s previous titles (which I did) this should brighten your day. Now to end this news update so I can go read more about this development!
