Word has come in via Kotaku that the long-gestating Star Wars The Old Republic online game is flirting with the possibility of being pushed back to January 2012.
EA Games Label president Frank Gibeau stated two of the prime reasons for the delay.
“We want more data from the beta test to guarantee a spectacular experience at launch,” as well as “we don’t want to tip off the competition.”
Good reasons both, but with the mass media onslaught surrounding the game and the Old Republic concept, EA don’t want to be waiting too long before unleashing the game on the Star Wars public.
