Remember last week when it seemed that Star Wars: The Old Republic wasn't going to come out until 2012? Well, it finally has a release date and if you're looking for it for Christmas, you're in luck.North America will get it on December 20th while UK gamers have to wait until the 22nd. Following their Developer's Talk at last weekend's Eurogamer Expo, fans worldwide are ready to choose their sides now that they know more about the game.
BioWare's story-driven MMO has been in development for some time and is now available for pre-order. Apparently these pre-orders are limited (though how that happens, we're not sure) but if you're lucky enough to do so, some retailers will be offering early access to the game. Of course, why the company is making such a hoo-hah about release dates now seems a bit pointless...
Anyway. The game's finally coming out. Finally you can unleash your inner Sith or Jedi while running around shouting about the Force and that while fighting Klingons. That's right isn't it?
