Warhammer MMOs May Come to Consoles.
DateTime:7/8/2009 5:21:12 PM

If you, like many console owners, were wondering where the heck a PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 version of Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO were hiding, you're not alone.

The good news is LucasArts and BioWare are "considering" bringing the MMO experience to consoles, which indirectly means the recently unveiled Star Wars title.

The bad news is the "confirmation" of console MMOs was just a blanket statement from Electronic Arts exec Frank Gibeau about future console MMO considerations (Note: EA owns BioWare).

"We're definitely looking at the opportunity to bring the MMO experience to console, without question," he said in an interview with Eurogamer. "We've got this product, and we've got Warhammer at play. So we're trying to look at the primary research required to understand how would you deploy it, what the client size looks like, how big is the back-end, what the play experience looks like... Once we've got some of those questions answered, we'll be able to decide which is the right play to go after."

When Gibeau was pressed further about Star Wars and Warhammer making an appearance on consoles, he said both titles were "under consideration." He offered no further details or confirmation beyond that, however.
