Q: Is there any proof that KotOR3 is even being worked on?
A: No. The only proof we have that it was even considered was an article a while back saying that LucasArts had laid off the predevelopment team.
Q: I heard about/saw a link to this statement from BioWare:
Quote: "As a leading representative of BioWare Corp. given the mamoth task of publicising the next in the series of Knights Of The Old Republic games (KOTOR 3), I have permission to confirm that this title is now several months underway.
This may come as a surprise to those who are currently reading this, as it was previously believed that the KOTOR staff had been cut from the LucasArts project. I can also confirm that the KOTOR 3 team is now officially on LucasArts budget and eagerly developing what we hope to be a 'must have' title on as of yet unconfirmed Next Generation platforms for 2006.
With more details to be released in the coming weeks, 3 points concerning KOTOR 3 can be posted:
1)The story takes place in a period roughly 14 years after KOTOR 2: The Sith Lords.
2)There will be new characters, equipment, classes, mini games and an entirely new combat system based on the interface used on Jade Empire.
3)The plot follows directly from the last game, plunging the galaxy into war with the True Sith.
This has yet to be posted onto the BioWare official website (www.bioware.com) as the pages are currently serving as a front to keep viewers occupied during a drastic remodelling process of the entire site.
As previously stated, this message is soon to be posted around the internet, and new details are to be released soon.
Keep checking back for more information."
A: It's a hoax.
Q: What about Obsidian saying they'd like to do KotOR 3?
A: Yes, that's correct, but they only said that they would like to work on it. Not that they were working on it, or had even been asked to. Just that they'd like to.
Q: IGN are predicting a KotOR3 release for late 2006/early 2007.
A: Yes: still no official word, though.
UPDATE: Well, 2006 and 2007 have both gone, and the game still hasn't been announced, so it seems fair to say that their prediction was wrong.
Q: Supershadow claims KotOR III will be made!
A: It's Supershadow, therefore it's fake.
Q: LucasArts say that they won't leave the KotOR franchise behind.
A: Yes, and this is certainly good news. However, we still have no proof that KotOR III is actually being made.
Q: Could the BioWare MMORPG be KotOR III?
A: Yes. It could also be myriad other things, including but not limited to: Jade Empire, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Sonic, or something completely new and unexpected.
Q: LucasArts and BioWare have announced a new 'interactive entertainment product'.
A: What the heck is one of those, anyway? Anyway, yes, they have. The words 'Star Wars' are not mentioned anywhere in that press release, though (okay, once, in reference to KotOR 1), and LucasArts has other intellectual property. It could just as easily be an Indiana Jones game (or MMORPG).
Q: Like, every gaming site in the world says that the EA analysts' report/project list must mean that BioWare are making KotOR 3!
A: We have an official answer for this:

This seems to be much ado about nothing (to quote the bard). This was a slide that EA used to show the pedigree of the different studios to investors. That is why you see games that have already been released (like KotOR, Black, Boogie and others) mentioned on the slide.
They do say that a lie can go around the world before the truth can get its boots on, don't they? 
Q: IGN say that BioWare is making KotOR 3 for an '08/'09 release.
A: Oh, right. Just like they claimed it was being made for an '06/'07 release, yes?
Q: But, but, concept art!
A: Whoever posted it says straight off the bat that it could well be a cancelled project. Since we know that K3 was in predevelopment for a while (see above), that's probably when these are from.
Q: What about the EA confirmation of the MMO?
A: To be honest, I'm not sure either way. See Chris Priestly's quote below, and the fact that the MMO and LucasArts project are separate on the website menus. However, if BioWare are making a KotOR MMO, I don't think it's strictly speaking KotOR III.
Q: So, now it's official, is the MMO KotOR III?
A: Doesn't look like it to me. It's an MMO. Might well be the best we're going to get, though.
Q: So I guess this means you're sick of K3 threads?
A: Yep. And since it's such a popular question, it makes sense to sticky it and its common variants.
Q: What will you accept as proof, damnit?!
A: A press release that is either on LucasArts' website, LucasArtsBioWare.com, or a game developer's website. Not gaming news sites, or any other site. And provide a link.
Q: Anything else to destroy my hopes and dreams?
A: Yes, actually. This:

I can say there is no KotOR3 from BioWare since there is no KotOR3 from BioWare.
