Star Wars: The Old Republic Space Combat Confirmed

Although the Star Wars: The Old Republic community did not manage to get a zillion sign-ups on Twitter and Facebook by x-date, BioWare has decided to reveal the promised surprise regardless. And that surprise is the inclusion of Space Combat in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Straight to the moon!

But what does that mean? Space combat is an alternative gameplay experience to the primary game of storytelling, questing, and ground-based combat. In space combat, you fly your personal ship to various “hot spots” on your galaxy map. From there, you will blast your way through asteroid fields, enemy fighters, frigates, destroyers, and a variety of other obstacles that will evoke memories of some of the great Star Wars™ space battles.

To learn more, pick up the October 2010 edition of PC Gamer which hits newsstands starting August 17th for screenshots and an exclusive interview or check back with us in the weeks to come.

KOTOR 2 had space combat. It was interesting.
