STAR WARS™: The Old Republic™

MMORPG Science Fiction Action RPG

Summary

Blaster fire meets high drama in Star Wars: The Old Republic, a massively multiplayer action RPG from BioWare Austin and Broadsword, published by LucasArts and Electronic Arts. First launched on July 21, 2020, this science fiction epic blends story-driven class arcs with raid-scale operations and ranked PvP that reward precision, timing, and squad discipline. Eight iconic paths—Jedi, Sith, Trooper, Smuggler, and more—anchor branching choices that shape reputation and endgame identity.
