October 6, 2008 - LucasArts and BioWare have revealed, through a postcard sent to the gaming press, that the two companies will announce a new game on October 21. LucasArts and BioWare have collaborated together before with the 2003 release of Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic. The RPG was critically praised and there were rumors that the two companies would continue the franchise in MMO form.
Some refer to the KOTOR MMO as one of the worst-kept secrets in the videogame industry. Fueling the rumor was the comment made by Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello, who unofficially confirmed the existence of the rumored MMO.
Furthering the speculation, the postcard, which was sent to Gamasutra, read "The wait is over." According to the game industry site, the post card promised "the official unveiling of the game that's been rumored about for years."
While the postcard made no mention of Star Wars, it depicted "floating robots and hooded figures in futuristic interior locations reminiscent of the sci-fi franchise."

So alot of people know that the next KOTOR will most likely be a MMO instead of a kotorIII based on uncomfirmed/sort of confirmed announcements in the past (E3). But I guess we'll find out for sure in 2 weeks.
