What kind of game is this? Star Wars: The Old Republic is an MMORPG with a strong story focus, as one would expect from a developer like Bioware. The stories in the game are fully voiced, and you can make decisions that have slight effects on the story.
In terms of gameplay, it resembles “WoW in space,” as it features:
- good and evil fighting against each other
- a classic quest system
- dungeons (flashpoints) and raids (operations)
- a combat system based on tab targeting
- various PvP content
A special feature is the companions that can accompany you through some content. A look at the content and gameplay of SWTOR is provided by this video from YouTuber Dottz Gaming:
What happens in 2022? This year, the MMORPG will receive the latest expansion Legacy of the Sith. This brings a new max level, new story content, a dungeon, and with patch 7.1 a new raid.
Other highlights include the overhaul of the class system and the removal of randomness from the loot. These new systems are intended to make SWTOR more enjoyable overall.
Originally, Legacy of the Sith was supposed to be released in December 2021, but the release was postponed to February. You can find everything about the expansion here:
For whom is this interesting? “Legacy of the Sith” primarily targets SWTOR fans who want new story content, a new max level, and new equipment. But it is also worthwhile for new players who are currently looking for a new MMORPG to check out the old title.
Many core elements of the game are being revised, which particularly benefits newcomers. The removal of luck in loot is an interesting way to better reward players and eliminate frustration from the game. The class change is also a good adjustment that can reduce the number of necessary twinks.
