Largest Expansion To Date Marks Renewed Focus On Cinematic Storytelling

AUSTIN, Texas – June 15, 2015 – BioWare™, an Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA) studio, and Lucasfilm revealed that a brand-new digital expansion, Star Wars™: The Old Republic™- Knights of the Fallen Empire, will be available for download on October 27, 2015. The largest story-driven expansion to date, Knights of the Fallen Empire marks a renewed focus on cinematic storytelling in Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ by introducing a new personal story arc where player choice will shape the journey. The expansion puts the player at the center of their own personal saga, playing as the Outlander, a veteran of the Great Galactic War. The player will come face-to-face with a new enemy, the Emperor of the Eternal Empire, only to discover that his dark destiny is tied to their own. The digital expansion will deliver on the hallmarks of what makes a great BioWare game: new worlds to explore, new companions to recruit into your alliance, and a dynamic story that players will be able to shape based on the choices they make. Knights of the Fallen Empire will launch with the first nine chapters of an evolving story, with new chapters releasing regularly to offer new challenges, fresh storylines, and an expanding cast of new characters to meet and join – or betray. The expansion will also raise the player level cap to 65, and includes a Level 60 character so players can immediately jump into the new story-driven content. The expansion will be available for free* to all subscribers of Star Wars: The Old Republic.

In addition, with the launch of Knights of the Fallen Empire the original eight class stories from Star Wars: The Old Republic will be enhanced to deliver a more immersive and engaging single-player story arc for players old and new. Plus, end-game experiences in Star Wars: The Old Republic will be advanced, giving players the option to join with friends in a variety of multiplayer missions upgraded to Level 60+.

As part of the announcement, BioWare is excited to unveil the “Knights of the Fallen Empire Rewards Program”. Between now and October 19, Subscribers can earn a collectible set of rewards each month that includes the Companion Nico Okarr, Nico’s Duster and Blasters set, and a Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic-themed Swoop Bike. Players that collect all four rewards will receive as a bonus Early Access to Knights of the Fallen Empire beginning seven days prior to public release on October 20. For more information on the Rewards Program, visit: http://www.StarWarsTheOldRepublic.com/fallen-empire/rewards .

Star Wars: The Old Republic is a Free-to-Play*, award-winning MMO set thousands of years before the classic Star Wars™ movies.

Klinkt als een interessant en mooi spannend verhaal ja..
Zal best een toffe uitbreiding zijn voor SWTOR.
Weet alleen niet of ik SWTOR weer zal installeren, mss in 2016?

Het is wel goed om te zien dat ze nog steeds content uitbrengen voor deze wat eigenaardige Star Wars MMO.

Blijkbaar verdienen ze er nog steeds genoeg mee.. het is een Star Wars MMO met de setting ver voor Episode 1.
En deze expansie is blijkbaar de grootste?

Ziet wel erg leuk verhaal uit. Maar ik heb laatste expansie niet, lijkt me vet om dat ook te doen.. Misschien in 2016 inderdaad.. met aanbieding.

we kochten pre-paid kaarten voor ruim de helft en daarmee betaalden we dus 2 maanden per keer.
soms tussendoor deden we f2p, maar is toch iets minder leuk.
