Australia Finally Getting SWTOR

Star Wars: The Old Republic hit shelves on December 20, 2011. Since then, the game has moved over two million copies. Unfortunately, none (or very few) of those copies were sold in Australia. EA announced in September that Australia would not be an initial launch zone for the game, and Aussie gamers have been waiting patiently for an update ever since.

Well, here’s your update: SWTOR lands in your upside-down country (also Kiwi nation) on March 1. If you’re already playing the game and you live in one of the March 1 zones (Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong or Singapore), you’ll receive an optional free character transfer to an Asia Pacific server.

The Old Republic has been doing quite well since launch, amassing 1.7 million active subscribers and more than a few glowing reviews. It’s not the WoW-killer everyone seemed to think it would be, but nothing ever is. An Australian release will boost subscriber numbers and help EA get a bit closer to recouping its $200 million-plus investment in the game.

Are you eagerly awaiting a SWTOR release in your area?
