BioWare to Shift Focus Away from Star Wars: The Old Republic
EA is in talks to move ongoing development of BioWare's MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic, to third-party developer Broadsword Online Games. Around 70-80 developers continue to work on the game at EA, with around half expected to move to Broadsword. The move is being evaluated to give the game and its team the best opportunity to grow and evolve. Broadsword Online Games was founded by former developers from Mythic Entertainment, also an EA subsidiary.
