According to the press release, this new Star Wars MMORPG will feature exciting storytelling, battle and intelligent characters. In Star Wars: The Old Republic, players will explore an age thousands of years before the rise of Darth Vader. At this time, war between the Old Republic and the Sith Empire divides the galaxy.

In this role-playing game, players will be able to choose to play as Jedi, Sith, or other Star Wars character types. Each player will guide their character(s), making their own storyline and guiding their direction within the Force, be it on the light or dark side. There will be chances to make allies or enemies and interact with others.

Of the new game, Darrell Rodriguez, President of LucasArts, expressed his opinion that those at LucasArts feel the best setting for continuing the Star Wars franchise in a grand way was an online world, allowing people from all over the world to interact. He says "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is the most critically acclaimed Star Wars game in LucasArts history and a preeminent example of our company's interactive storytelling heritage."
