Tags: Feargus Urquhart; Obsidian Entertainment; Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith LordsThe man himself, Feargus Urquhart has commented on KOTOR II's release dates at the Obsidian forums. Here's the post in whole:
I am going to try to comment on the release dates without sticking my foot in my mouth or pissing a myriad of groups off. This is probably impossible, but hey when has that ever stopped Feargus "Slamdunk" Urquhart before.
Anyway now that I'm done with the disclaimer.
There are actually a whole bunch of reasons why the dates have been set they way they have been, some of them have to do with LucasArts and some of them have to do with Obsidian. Microsoft even weighed in on the topic and let us know what they would like to see. What came out of all that was that the US Xbox version would come out in December and the PC and both International versions would come out in February.
Like a lot of people on the boards here, we are disappointed that we will not be shipping the PC version simultaneously. We are probably more disappointed actually, because of all the hard work we put into making it possible for that to happen.Maybe people will stop blaming him for things out of his control, for once.
Thanks for the news Kumquatq3.
