It's been rumored for years, but it looks like a Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic MMO is finally on its way.

The news comes from Joystiq, who reports that Portfolio.com has published an excerpt from their interview with EA CEO John Riccitiello, who says that one of EA's two MMOs in development is "in partnership with Lucas, coming out of BioWare," sparking excitement that the game could be a KOTOR MMO as Bioware was behind the first KOTOR game.

Joystiq then contacted N. Evan Van Zelfden, who wrote the report, who confirmed to them that the game in question is indeed an online KOTOR. Sounds good!

Two massive videogame companies, Lucasarts and Bioware, announced today the creation to take over the world. Well, not really - but they did announce they have teamed up to create a whole brand new videogame for next-generation platforms.

Considering their collaborations in the past (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, anyone?) and the fact that this is LucasArts, which means that whatever the project is there's a high chance that it's related to the Star Wars brand, those old KoTR MMORPG rumors have once again hit the Web. Click the jump for more info.

In an E3 interview with Konami today, the company shed some light on its upcoming action-RPG title for the Nintendo DS, Lunar Knights. Similar to the Boktai series on the Game Boy Advance, (which was also helped along by Hideo Kojima), players traverse a top-down environment "in a desperate world ruled by vampires," as the game's opening trailer describes.

Like Boktai, weather is a central part of Lunar Knights. Between hours of vampire- and demon-slayin', players will have to pay attention to the local forecast, as the DS's top screen provides a real-time view of the sun and moon cycles throughout the game. As the sun rises or the moon is eclipsed by clouds, the characters will be affected, though Konami didn't specify how.

A company executive did mention that switching between the game's two characters (Aaron the gun-wielding sharpshooter, and Lucian, the melee specialist), will play heavily into the light-scheme, as one character excels at combat during the day, and the other in the evening. Likewise, we know that the environments that the player can access and the monsters you'll encounter change as the sun and moon drift about the sky.

Look for more news in the coming months on Lunar Knights, as Konami specified a probable November release.

According to a few reports, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic III is supposedly in development over at Obsidian Entertainment. The reports (and logic) indicate that the game will be on a next-next generation console (never thought I'd hear myself saying that) and such a system is likely the Xbox 2.

While it does sound true keep in mind that no official announcement has been made and as such, KOTR 3 remains little more than a hope. If we hear any new rumors on this popular Star Wars title we'll let you know.
