Star Wars fans kan glæde sig, hvis de har en stor Pc stående eller har tænkt sig, at investere i en Xbox. Ud over Obi Wan er Knights of the Old Repuclic nemlig på vej - og det ser imponerende ud.
Spillet er under udvikling på både Pc og Xbox og det vil være sidstnævnte, hvor man i første omgang kan få lov til at spille det. Xbox versionen forventes færdig til efteråret år 2002, mens Pc ejere må vente til år 2003. Det er Bioware Corp der står bag spillet mens historien varetages af Lucas Arts - som i øvrigt foregår 4.000 år før de film som vi kender, udspiller sig.
Simon Jeffery (Lucas Arts) siger følgende i presse meddelelsen:
"Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic will be available on two dynamic platforms, Xbox and PC, both of which are perfectly suited for the incredibly compelling and high action role playing experience this game will offer. As always, LucasArts' goal is to determine the best platform fit for each game. In this case, BioWare's tremendous expertise in the PC RPG genre makes that platform an ideal showcase for the game, while an Xbox version provides a great opportunity for LucasArts to establish the first major RPG franchise on that platform."
Ray Muzyka (Bioware) siger følgende:
"BioWare has been fortunate to develop role playing games that have been well received over the years. In Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, we'll be able to bring BioWare's strengths -- engaging story development, striking art and animation style, and rewarding character development -- to the Star Wars universe in a way that will deliver an amazing game play experience."
"The Xbox and PC are both fantastic game machines, and the development team is committed to pushing the boundaries of both platforms to make Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic the best role playing game possible."
