The 13th chapter of the SWTOR expansion is now live. There will also be dramatic decisions in the future.
Making the galaxy unsafe with Vette and Gault
Since May 5th, the 13th chapter of “Knights of the Fallen Empire”, the current expansion of SWTOR, has officially been released. Players will encounter old acquaintances in “Loot and Profit” – as Gault and Vette have a very special plot against the Eternal Empire planned.
In addition, players can now try their hand at the Eternal Championship and complete ten exciting arena battles to win numerous rewards and even earn the Wookiee Bowdaar for their cause.
Important decisions in the upcoming chapters
In an interview with mmorpg.com, Lead Designer Charles Boyd revealed something about the future of SWTOR. Some hints have already been dropped for the upcoming chapters – the significance of players’ decisions will be substantial.
“As the story progresses, the fight against Arcann will become increasingly important in the upcoming chapters. The early decisions made by players will haunt or reward them again – in significant ways. Major twists in the story are also planned that will completely change the face of the galaxy and bring forth even more difficult decisions.”
Boyd did not want to reveal much about the more distant future. While there were few concrete statements, an end to the game is likely still a long way off.
“We are not yet ready to talk about the plans after Knights of the Fallen Empire, but rest assured: The stories of the players, their decisions, and consequences are far from over. We have some fantastic plans for the future and I can hardly wait to tell you about them!”
Further, they asked where exactly SWTOR would be seen in the future and whether it even had a place in the Disney-acquired franchise. For example, the planet Malachor, originally from The Old Republic, appeared in “Star Wars Rebels”.
“We are all big fans of Star Wars ourselves, so we always get excited when we see references to The Old Republic in other works. Aside from that, we have no insight into other Star Wars projects or their stories. We discover such references just like everyone else does.”
