After a three-year absence of updates,Star Wars: The Old Republicwill be getting a new expansion this September. CalledOnslaught, this latest update will add a brand new story, two new planets, a “Flashpoint,” a new “Operation,” and some brand new abilities. Revealed on the officialOld Republicwebsite, the description reads, “Onslaughtputs you at the center of the reignited war between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. Will you remain loyal to your faction or work to undermine and sabotage their war efforts? The choice is yours.”
Players will take a journey to Onderon, the planet of “untamed jungles and savages beasts,” stop off at Mek-Sha, a fuelling station situated in a mined-out asteroid, and explore a new area of Corellia for the climactic finale of the story. The flashpoint, playable at any time, will be set on Dxun, a lush jungle set on one of Onderon’s moons.
As far as gameplay enhancements go,Onslaughtwill feature a brand new gear type called “tactical items.” These items are said to be “build-defining items” that will alter the playstyle and abilities of your characters. New general item sets will be obtainable via crafting, “Galatic Command,” PvP, and PvE. Finally, the level cap will be raised to 75, with every advanced class unlocking new abilities as they progress.
