Star Wars: The Old Republic’s Knights of the Eternal Throne expansion is
almost here — arriving December 2. In preparation for the release, the BioWare devs
recently hosted a livestream where they not only highlighted some of the
expansion’s features but also took viewer questions.
The expansion will feature 9 new story chapters which are repeatable with
challenge levels and will add two new planets for players to explore. There are
also 5 new uprisings and new class abilities. One important thing to note is
that once players have completed the KoTET storyline, they will have to wait
until the next expansion to get anything new.
Other cool features being added are the abilities to pilot a walker, go
undercover as a Zakuul knight, and remote control a mouse droid.
During the Q&A, the devs answered several questions about what MMORPG players
can look forward to in the expansion beyond the highlighted features. Some of
these questions were more of the housekeeping type — such as what happens to
unused gear tokens in 5.0. Answer: they’ll be converted to credits. Players can
also expect unfinished missions to be reset when the expansion goes live
The full, hour-long livestream, which offers even more details on what to
expect and what not to expect when Knights of the Eternal Throne hits is
available to watch above.
