According to 'sources' close to French fan website StarWars-Universe.com (thanks VG247), the new developed will be released in October 2010.

Star Wars: The Old Republic was first unveiled earlier this year, a huge new project being created between BioWare, and of course LucasArts.

The publisher and developer have yet to comment on this speculated release date, while a insider is also quoted as revealing a launch in 'Q3 2010'; potentially September.

It is unclear whether the game will debut everywhere at the same time, while BioWare have also yet to comment on beta test plans. We'll be taking a closer look at GamesCom next week.
