Bioware ‘Cannot Commit To Any Timeframe’ For Star Wars: The Old Republic’s Australian Release’

Earlier this afternoon it was revealed that Star Wars: The Old Republic would not be available in Australia at launch. Now we have an statement from Bioware stating that they “cannot commit to any timeframe” for the game’s release outside of the US and Europe.

The statement reads as follows:

To all of our fans outside of North America and Europe:

Today we’ve announced the pre-order details for the initial launch of Star Wars: The Old Republic, and as you may now know, we’ve taken the difficult but necessary decision to limit our initial launch supply for the game. BioWare and LucasArts are completely focused on building an exceptional game and an exceptional game service to go with it. We decided to constrain our launch capacity to ensure we deliver a great experience to every player.

Part of the reason this decision was made was because of the overwhelming demand for The Old Republic, and we’re humbled by that level of excitement and anticipation. We fully intend to deliver to you an amazing game when we expand our service post-launch, but right now we cannot commit to any timeframe for when that may happen. As soon as we have more information about additional launches in more territories, we’ll let you know.

We are committed to delivering Star Wars: The Old Republic to BioWare and Star Wars fans around the world, and to growing a truly global community.

Thanks to Denaz and The Cracks for the tip.
