BioWare's MMORPG will now launch simultaneously in North America and Europe - details inside.

There used to be an embeded media player here, but it doesn't work anymore. We blame the Tumbeasts.

BioWare Community Manager Stephen Reid announced today at New York City Comic Con that Star Wars: The Old Republic is now scheduled to launch on the same date in both Europe and North America. Gamers on both sides of the Atlantic can try using their force powers to get into the MMO on December 20th.

Alternatively, you could always just go buy it, but that would make Obi-Wan’s failure complete or something like that. The European version was originally scheduled to release on December 22nd.
