'Star Wars: The Old Republic -- Revan': Exclusive excerpt from the long-awaited 'KOTOR' follow-up

Another chapter of Star Wars’ ancient history is about to be revealed. Drew Karpyshyn’s novelStar Wars: The Old Republic — Revan, due Nov. 15, is the long-awaited follow-up to the 2003 videogame Knights of the Old Republic.

Fans of KOTOR know that it’s one of the best stories ever set in that galaxy far, far away, with a midway twist worthy of “I am your father.”(Spoilers from here on out for those who haven’t played the game. But, seriously, play it!) Almost 4,000 years before the events of the movies, a rogue Jedi Knight named Revan and his apprentice Malak turned to the Dark Side following a war against the Mandalorians, when Boba Fett’s warrior ancestors tried to conquer the Republic. As Sith Lords, Darth Revan and Darth Malak decided they also wanted the Republic as their prize. But, as often happens, apprentice turned against master, and Revan was thought to swtor credits  have died at Malak’s hand. When playing KOTOR, you’re just an anonymous Republic soldier fighting Malak’s forces alongside a ragtag group of companions (sound familiar?) until it’s revealed that — gasp —you’re Darth Revan and you were rescued by a Jedi strike team after Malak’s betrayal! They wiped your memory in the hope that you could help the Republic turn back the chaos you yourself had unleashed, and, like the original Star Wars trilogy, the game becomes a poignant study in redemption and forgiveness.

Star Wars: The Old Republic — Revan picks up two years buy swtor credits  after Malak’s defeat, when the redeemed Revan is still trying to pick up the pieces of his old life and figure out what exactly made him turn to the Dark Side. All fans have known about Revan’s post-KOTOR life is that he took off for the Unknown Regions on the hunt for a dark threat to the Republic… and was never heard from again. Now his fate is about to be revealed, and EW’s got an exclusive excerpt from the novel, in which Revan meets in a seedy underworld cantina with one of hisKOTOR companions, the Mandalorian mercenary Canderous Ordo, to discuss sinister visions he’s been having of a storm-covered planet cracklin.

Star Wars – The Old Republic: EA Still Plans To Be Generous

Some may think that Electronic Arts is taking some risk by shipping more copies of Star Wars – The Old Republic during its launch swtor credits date. The primary plan, really, is to ensure that every gamer will get a copy when he or she wants a copy on the very day of the game’s release. This is considering that EA has already offered an early access incentive for those who have pre-ordered the game. So, people may think that the planned rollout is “ambitious”.

EA is releasing Star Wars – The Old Republic a few days before Christmas. At that point, players may have already bought other games for their holiday reward or they may have pre-ordered SWTOR.  Of course, there are still players that will be out there during the launch itself. Frank Gibeau of EA said that the number of copies that will be shipped buy swtor credits will depend on the demand and several other just as important factors.

One of the factors is the beta test. Gamers get a feel for Star Wars – The Old Republic’s classes and storylines and there are quite a number of them. Gibeau said that there will be new stuff coming out to keep the game appealing. He said that, “It’s a very interesting proposition from that standpoint because you have the Star Wars brand that draws in a lot of people. That is a good thing because we think we can sustain the business over a very long time as we grow. There’s going to continually be new customer segments that we can open up and bring into the service.”

So I guess we can expect that EA will still ship enough copies to satisfy gamers who want to buy the game during the launch day itself despite the fact that pre-orders were highly encouraged before. The game will be out for PC on December 20th.
