The next story chapter of the SWTOR expansion “Knights of the Fallen Empire” has a date. We have the details for you.
Chapter 12 comes in early April
In the latest developer stream, the creators of SWTOR answered some exciting questions about the future of the expansion “Knights of the Fallen Empire”. They have already released some initial information about the content of Chapter 12 and also set a release date. Accordingly, Chapter 12 “Vision in the Dark” will be released on April 5, 2016.
Spoiler warning: The next paragraph contains some twists from Chapter 12; if you want to be surprised, you should not continue reading!
In Chapter 12, Valkorion makes a “deadly strike” against the Outsider by initiating a dangerous mission. Within this mission, there will also be a reunion with some important people from SWTOR, as players will encounter Satele Shan and the spirit of Darth Marr. Additionally, there are small glimpses of the wild landscape of the planet Odessen.
A new companion character for the Alliance is introduced: Akghal Usar, a Deshade (Sith Inquisitors should remember: Khem Val was also a Deshade). He must first be freed from his prison on Yavin 4, which requires solving a tricky puzzle.
Furthermore, Chapter 12 will expand the game with 2 new PvP areas. The Odessen War Zone and the Arena of Rishi will be available from the release date, and even Free2Play players can participate in the new war zone.
There was also a brief discussion about the “Eternal Championship“, which was supposed to be released several months ago. However, major quality issues were found, and it simply “wasn’t fun”.
Finally, some rumors are being realized. SWTOR is ending the categorization of “PvP” and “PvE” servers; instead, players can freely choose whether they want to be in a PvP or PvE instance on any server. At the same time, characters can now have more versatile names – spaces in names are now valid. So, we can look forward to great names with titles like “Darth Lord Anakin Vader of the Roxxor Legacy”.
