The SF MMORPG Star Wars The Old Republic is set to receive the largest story-driven expansion yet. The title chosen is “Knights of the Fallen”.
Electronic Arts has presented a comprehensive program for E3. Among them is “Star Wars: The Old Republic”, the Free2Play MMORPG from Bioware. It was announced that a new expansion is planned. With “Knights of the Fallen”, the storytelling through Cinematic will be brought back to the forefront.
There will be new companions, new worlds to explore. Electronic Arts promises a dynamic story for SWTOR that changes with the decisions of the players: A typical “Bioware” game, with all the features that define them.
We will receive further details on Monday evening, when the EA press conference at E3 takes place.
Electronic Arts has already signaled last year that they support the Free2Play MMORPG and that 2015 should be the year of Star Wars: The Old Republic. Allegedly for the sake of SWTOR, they have discontinued the 4vs1 experiment Shadow Realms. At the end of the year, the next Star Wars film will be released in theaters. The now officially announced expansion was subtly hinted at during Gamescom 2014.
