After more than a decade at the helm of Star Wars: The Old Republic, BioWare is handing the reins of the MMO to a third-party studio, rumoured to be Broadsword Online Games. This has naturally left the game's assortment of Jedi, smugglers and other adventurers wondering what this means for the future of The Old Republic, and a recent developer update attempts to alleviate fears that it will be shunted into maintenance mode and left to stagnate.
"As I've said before, we are working on future plans including more story and modernization initiatives for the game," says game director Keith Kanneg. "We've upgraded the game to 64-bit, and are working on moving the servers to the cloud, and there are more content and tech updates on the way."
