5 New Screens From Star Wars: The Old Republic

Developer BioWare has unveiled five new screenshots from its upcoming Star Wars-themed massively multiplayer online game Star Wars: The Old Republic.

The firm has yet to reveal release date or pricing information for Star Wars: The Old Republic. With no impending movie release on the horizon, we hope BioWare has been granted the freedom to delay release until the game is completely finished.
