Soon, SWTOR will enter the next chapter. “The War for Iokath” has received a new trailer.
The last update of Star Wars: The Old Republic was a while ago, and slowly the lightsaber-wielders of the former Republic and the Empire are hungry for fresh content. How timely that SWTOR will roll out Patch 5.2 “The War for Iokath” this week, bringing plenty of new content.
The centerpiece of the update is the new operation (raid instance) “Gods from the Machine,” as Iokath is a highly technical world that operates almost entirely through droid technology. And since autonomous machines have always been a cause for conflict, this is no different in Patch 5.2. An initial trailer is said to have already excited players for the new enemies that the Outlander will encounter – both alone and in a group of like-minded raiders.
But the story will also continue to unfold, and the Outlander’s alliance will face an important question: Will they supply the Empire’s troops with resources or rather make them available to the Republic? The long-term consequences of this decision are still unclear. A choice could potentially upset the fragile balance between the two factions…
Players will soon be able to experience these decisions and visits in the raid themselves. The War for Iokath starts tomorrow, April 11, 2017.
What else the War of Iokath holds, we will explain in this article.
