Sold SWTOR news overload as press embargo drops...

SWTOR news overload as press embargo drops tomorrow Published: October 20, 2011 No more sneaking around for those intrepid MMO news reporters. BioWare has given sanction to a council of chosen sites, including IGN.com and Massively.com, to unveil embargoed articles about Star Wars the Old Republic, reports fan site DarthHater. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the Star Wars embargo release is a deliberate attempt to spoil the Blizzard hype train as it hosts the BlizzCon 2011 shindig in Anaheim, California this weekend. Blizzard is widely rumored to announce a new WoW expansion this weekend – its latest and third Cataclysm expansion is on its final raid cycle – and BioWare has every incentive to keep some spotlight trained on its own Star Wars MMO, which launches less than two months away on December 20. It’s great that BioWare is so feisty, fighting for every square inch of press coverage. In all likelihood, the stream of insider Star Wars coverage will focus on gameplay features and videos, guides on what you can actually buy with SWTOR Credits, and possibly a viral trailer like a the cinematic opening of a class or two. What do you think, guys?
