Star Wars MMO not out before March 2011

BioWare make us wait

EA CEO, John Riccitiello has publicly stated that Star Wars: The Old Republic will not ship before March 2011.

In his most recent investor conference call he made reference to BioWare's maiden MMO and the significant investment that EA are putting into the game.

Riccitiello said: "EA is incurring significant development costs for a major new massively multiplayer online game," he said. "However, this game is not expected to ship in fiscal '11."

That sentiment was later echoed by EA's CFO Eric Brown. Brown said, referring to Star Wars: The Old Republic: "It's not included in our FY11 release slate."
