Star Wars: The Old Republic Director Leaves, BioWare Announces Commitment To The MMORPG

Charles Boyd was announced as the Star Wars: The Old Republic’s new creative director in a post posted on BioWare’s official website. The studio, despite the disappointing news, announced that it would continue to support the space opera franchise. It praised other members of the design team from Eric Musco to Eric Ruhl, as well as Eric Musco to be the lead producer.

Boyd offered a few words of encouragement at the end. 

“Even after almost sixteen years, I still can’t fully believe how lucky I’ve been to work on Star Wars: The Old Republic…As always, there are some exciting things in the works for the future of SWTOR – storylines and planets and gameplay and characters that I can’t wait to see come to life. It’s exciting to be able to experience them all with my players. We want to thank the Lucasfilm partners and all our team members for their amazing journey. Although I am moving on, the Old Republic will always be in my heart.

The Old Republic celebrated its 10th year anniversary in December last year. Legacy of the Sith, the game’s seventh expansion was published around this time. Moreover, an upcoming content update promising new daily mission arcs for Republic and Imperial players on Manaan, a challenging operation for 8-player teams, improvements to weapons, and juicy story deets surrounding Darth Malgus is in development. The classic adventure in a galaxy far, far away is still going strong even as BioWare pivots to the next highly-anticipated chapters in the Mass Effect and Dragon Age franchises.
