SOE's unannounced MMO "dedicated" to Star Wars Galaxies players, says Smedley

Sony Online Entertainment boss John Smedley's extensive Reddit AMAA yielded many answers and many teases, one of which pertained to the unannounced MMO the firm has had in the works for quite some time.

In the AMAA, when pressed for details on the MMO, Smedley would only confirm it was a "completely new IP," and that "the data is on the interwebs.. someone just has to find it." So if you feel like doing a bit of sleuthing, by all means go for it.

He also said the game is "dedicated" to Star wars Galaxies players.

"Once we launch it… you can come home now," he said. When pressed for what exactly he meant by that he replied: "It's called 'go figure it out for yourself'. "

A bit cryptic, but interesting nonetheless as Smedley also said if there was one game shutdown by the firm he could relaunch it would be SWG and he would do "everything differently" with it.

Star Wars Galaxies signed off after eight years of operation back in December 2011 after SOE's contract with Lucasarts at the time expired.
