Star Wars: The Old Republic BioWare Farewell Omission [Confirmed]

Star Wars: The Old Republic lead writer Caitlin Sullivan Kelly announced on October 21, 2026 that BioWare’s official farewell statement omitted any mention of the fifteen‑year‑old MMO, despite its pivotal role in funding the studio’s other franchises. According to verified reports from IGN Articles, BioWare’s farewell highlighted titles such as Baldur’s Gate, Dragon Age, and Mass Effect, but left SWTOR conspicuously absent. The lead writer called the omission "heartbreaking" on social media, noting that the game generated steady revenue and supported BioWare’s development pipeline for over a decade. BioWare transferred SWTOR to Broadsword in 2023, yet the MMO’s legacy remains a cornerstone of the studio’s history. This oversight has ignited a wave of fan criticism and prompted discussions about the future of SWTOR’s live service, community events, and potential updates.
