StarWars The Old Republic: News! Space Combat confirmed

First, thank you to all of you who participated in our Comic-Con Reveal mission!  While we didn’t quite make the numbers, we definitely saw how excited the community is about this and how everyone came together. After all of that, there’s no way we could hold back with our special reveal at Comic-Con!

If you’ve been following the news coming out of the Star Wars  The Old Republic panel at Comic-Con International, you’ve heard the announcement that we will indeed have Space Combat as part of the TOR experience! 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.

This is outstanding news for all of us who enjoy space combat and hopefully things like asteroid harvesting and so on.  This is one of the things that I had told myself I would enjoy the game much more so if it were in place.  Slowly my hopes are being realized….
