It doesn't look like Star Wars: The Old Republic will see the light of day any time soon

Reports had quoted EA chief John Riccitiello during the publishers quarterly financial call as saying the game would be out in 2011.

BioWare has now stated on its forum that it is "targeting" a release in Spring 2011. "While we have not announced a specific date, we can confirm that we are targeting a spring 2011 release for Star Wars: The Old Republic," posted the studio's Sean Dahlberg. "We've got a lot of exciting updates and reveals planned throughout 2010, including the first-ever hands-on testing for the game. It's not too late to sign up to be a game tester, so go to www.swtor.com/tester and sign up today"

"We can't wait to share more about the game with you as we progress through the year, so make sure you stay tuned to the official website for details."
