As far as the hardcore fandom is concerned (meaning frequent forum and r/SWTOR posters, mostly) these changes are quite the mixed bag - but then when has any MMO ever announced an expansion that some vocal haters didn't say would kill the game?Ĭlasses and Advanced Classes are being unshackled from one another, meaning you can play through the 'class story' of the Jedi Knight as any of the four force-user classes, meaning that the Hero of Tython can be a Sage or Shadow - and if you alignment dips into the Dark Side, you'll even have access to the Sith specs, and vice versa.

The release date of Legacy of the Sith - which we still don't know, unfortunately - is tactically placed once again to not only coincide with the anniversary, but also with the premiere of The Book of Boba Fett on Disney+ this December, which is expected to drive new players to the MMO keen on living out their fantasies of being one of the top bounty hunters in the galaxy far, far away.īioWare has also spent the past few weeks explaining some of the upcoming - and pretty major - changes hitting SWTOR as part of the 7.0 update in blogs and forum posts. Now, Legacy of the Sith will offer some answers about what Malgus is up to - but it will likely pose plenty of its own questions too, since Creative Director Charles Boyd has expressed in multiple interviews that SWTOR still has a long way to go.īetween a 7 minute story overview video and interviews with Gamespot and, the SWTOR team is keen on spreading the news of 7.0 and the 10th anniversary of the game.Īfter a slump in popularity following the Knights of the Eternal Throne expansion, the release of Onslaught, the launch of the game on Steam and increased attention thanks to the success of The Mandalorian have put the game back into a healthy place, and the team is planning accordingly. We meet the scarred, cyborg Sith again on Ossus in the lead-up to the Onslaught expansion, and his machinations since that storyline have once again made him the enemy of both factions.
