HanDiego Predictions

With BioWare putting so much effort into this weeks San Diego Comic Con we figured we should take the time to knock out some predictions for the event. 

Thanks DoctorDrake!


What We Could See from #HanDiego

1.  The date for when they plan to announce the release date:

Based on comments from BioWare staff they would first announce when they would announce the release date.  So it makes sense to prepare the fans at #SDCC. 


2.  Some additional companion information:

I would imagine that any play through they do would show off more of the companions in the game.  I would even venture to say we would see them use the Smuggler or Imperial Agent in their walk thoughts. 


3.  The Collector's edition packaging:

Well its probably not going to be a big surprise now.  When we started on this article we figured retail package information would surface at either SDCC or PAX.  With all the leaks going on it seems more ripe for prime time. 


4.  The Standard - New World walk-through.  Maybe one of the origin words:

This is a given.  It may or may not be an origin world. But it just makes more sense to do another play through.  The fans seem to really enjoy these! 


What Will Not See From #handiego

1.  Consular info as part of the big reveal:
Probably not.  It feels to me like this will be saved for a Friday Fan update. 

2.  A New Race:

I think we have seen all the races they have for the initial release of the game.  It could happen, but it   just seems like something they would have told everyone in the last 2-3 years. 


3. The Official Release Date:

As indicated above I believe they're saving this for PAX the following month.  Which would probably indicate a October/November release.
