Star Wars: KotOR II Details!

IGN Xbox has posted some initial details about Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II. Probably the most intriguing tidbit that they mention is that the sequel may be under development at Obsidian Entertainment. A snippet:

A logical action to take after such success is to start planning the game’s successor, and apparently, KOTOR 2 is under development. A few sources have already reported that the sequel has been greenlighted for a late 2004 or early 2005 release, and that the game’s storyline – which is to take place many years after KOTOR’s –will include a completely new cast of characters. But what few people are aware of is that the game is not being developed internally at BioWare, but in Orange County at Obsidian Entertainment. (At least that’s what we hear.)
