Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Preview

SciFi.com has posted an article about BioWare’s upcoming Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, giving us some of the first information available about the game. Here’s a taste:

The general story is … a battle between the Sith and the Jedi and the clash just after the Sith war and how the Jedi thwart the Sith from trying to take over the universe.”

The third-person game will mix turn-based, menu-based and action-game-style combat in a unique system to be announced later. LucasArts licensed the development of the game out to BioWare, the developers of Baldur’s Gate for the PC and MDK2 for the PlayStation2 and Dreamcast platforms.
