Talking Star Wars: The Old Republic’s Future with BioWare’s Charles Boyd 33033

We’ve been writing to you about future of SWTOR? That’s a very good question and we’re not the only ones asking it. 363247

Den of Geek spoke to BioWare’s Charles Boyd about the future of SWTOR, the latest expansion, and what’s next for the game. You should definitely head on over there and read it in full for yourself but here’s a snippet:

Will SWTOR‘s future development continue in this chapter-focused story direction?

From a writing standpoint, I think the chapter style is really strong, and has led to a significant player first and foremost as we decide future direction.

What might you change in the next expansion?

Players seemed to really enjoy getting the warzone, arena, and Eternal Championship in addition to the chapters, so coupling that data with the player requests you mentioned earlier, we would look to include more of that type of variety of gameplay in addition to the story chapters in the future.

You’ll players are happy enough with it, and some really love the single player feel to it, even if that is not what BioWare intended.

No matter where you stand on the issue of the last expansion, one thing we can all agree on is that we want more content and we want BioWare to learn from their experiences with KotFE and what the say to BioWare if given the chance to request an audience?

In this interview with Den of Geek, Boyd says, “Humility is a core tenet of BioWare’s design culture, so we work very hard to learn all that we can from everything we release and find ways to improve.”

So let’s hope we continue to see that in future content for SWTOR.
