During Electronic Arts’ fiscal year 2010 update call today, CEO John Riccitiello cited Star Wars: The Old Republic as a key driver of the company’s digital business, noting that the MMO was making “great progress towards a spring 2011 launch.”
With all of the character classes revealed, new planets being added to the game’s Holonet on a regular basis, and stirrings of beta tests surfacing as early as September of last year, one would think the game was closer than a year and change away. Not so, according to EA’s CEO.

EA’s fiscal year 2011 runs from April of 2010 to March of 2011.
We’ve contacted Star Wars: The Old Republic developer BioWare for comment on Riccitiello’s statement, and will update should more info arise on the status of the eagerly anticipated title.
