Star Wars – The Old Republic: Voice actor reveals Christmas release

Let’s face it, there’s a lot of speculation and rumor surrounding Star Wars – The Old Republic. This is very understandable considering the amount of time and resources EA and Bioware have poured into this project. Also, anything with the Star Wars brand is subject to a lot of fan anticipation and rumor. Well, the swarm of speculation won’t go away anytime soon specially if you factor in a juicy little bombshell dropped by one of the voice actors that worked on Star Wars – The Old Republic.

According to Paul Darrow (famous in the UK for his work in Blake’s 7), he was privy to information concerning the release date for this title.  Darrow worked on the project playing an NPC Guide for Sith Warriors. He said that he was told Star Wars – The Old Republic will be released on Christmas this year. He finished the voice recording for his Sith role around a year ago.

We don’t know what to make of this latest “revelation”. It obviously doesn’t come from the studio or publisher and definitely doesn’t have their official seal of approval. We’re sure of one thing though, it will only serve to boost the already considerable amount of buzz surrounding Star Wars – The Old Republic. Many fans will definitely have one more thing to look forward to this Christmas.

    Released in time for Christmas, like the first week of December? Possibly. Released *on* Christmas? Absolutely not. People won’t be able to give it as a gift, nobody would be there on launch day b/c they’d be with their families, in general it’s just a poor, poor idea.

    Interesting, considering Christmas falls on a Sunday this year…

    Stephen Reid, Community Manager for SWTOR, said that the voice actors did not/do not have that information. Not to mention the fact that a year ago, their target window was still Spring of 2011.
