EA details plans of the first content update for SWTOR
Game Update 1.1: Rise of the Rakghouls features a new Flashpoint and a new Operation
EA, BioWare and LucasArts are prepared to release the first game update for the recently released Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Launching next week on Tuesday, January 17, Update 1.1: Rise of the Rakghouls will introduce new, higher level group content, game feature additions and continued balancing and bug fixes. BioWare will also continue to release game updates to subscribers throughout the year on a regular cadence - the next update is planned for March 2012.
“A month ago when we launched the Early Game Access program for Star Wars: The Old Republic, we promised our fans that this would just be the beginning of our journey together,” said Dr. Greg Zeschuk, Co-Founder of BioWare. “Rise of the Rakghouls adds a lot of the things our community has been asking for – additional higher level group content, features like anti-aliasing, PvP bracketing and more. In the future, game updates will be even more substantial, as we promise to continue to not only add to The Old Republic, but to also improve and refine the experience with the full Legacy System and new Guild features.”
Rise of the Rakghouls features a new Flashpoint and a new Operation as well as a number of changes made throughout the entire game, including level 50 bracketing for PvP WarZones, the addition of anti-aliasing and changes to Open World PvP on Ilum.
Flashpoint: Kaon Under Siege is a new and unique group combat experience located on Kaon, a planet in the Tion Hegemony. Groups of up to four Republic or Imperial players must race to Kaon to eliminate the Rakghouls outbreak. This Flashpoint will be available for level 50 characters only and will feature Normal and Heroic modes.
Operation: Karagga’s Palace is a continuation of the game’s second launch Operation. In the Operation, teams of 8 or 16 players will face off against Karagga and the Hutt Cartel. This Operation will feature Normal, Heroic and Nightmare difficulty modes.
Star Wars: The Old Republic is in stores now for Windows PC, and requires EA's Origin service to play.
