The BioWare-turned-Broadsword team behind Star Wars The Old Republic is once again heading to Twitch to outline the game’s immediate future, which includes GU 7.4.1 and Galactic Season 6: Building a Foundation.
“In Building a Foundation players will return to Copero where House Inrokini of the Chiss Ascendancy sees the changing times across the galaxy and wishes to learn what strengths the other sentients of the galaxy possess,” the team says. “It’s up to players to bring an understanding of galactic events to House Inrokini, in exchange for a discreet base of operations within Chiss space.” That base of ops is Copero Stronghold itself, which unlocks with the first story mission and acts as the hub for the season’s story content, with additional story missions unlocking at level 15 and 40.
Broadsword is also unveiling a “new narrative feature” that’s perfectly timed for Valentine’s Day.
“A new narrative feature called Date Night has been introduced giving players personal time with their in-game love interest outside of the conflicts of the galaxy. In this Alliance Alert mission, players will be immersed in a cinematic-only scene unique to their partner’s interests, whether that’s going out for drinks at the cantina, a thought-provoking game of Dejarik, or maybe even some sparring practice. Initially, companions available for the new Date Night feature include SIS agent Theron Shan, Sith Lord Lana Beniko, Zakuulan captain Koth Vortena, and former Eternal Emperor Arcann, each having their own unique scene that exemplifies their character. Multiple playthroughs will help players earn unique rewards, including achievements, a title, and a new deco commemorating the date. These missions will be released alongside Galactic Seasons.”
Finally, we’ve gotten a lil tease for GU 7.5, called Desperate Defiance; it “continues the storyline and takes players back to the planet Hutta” with as players see “Lane Vizla’s story missions come to fruition, a Spring Event on Dantooine and more.”
