This week, we knew a lot about the features in 8.0, but the one thing that was missing? Well, that was the name. It’s been revealed. 8.0 is now Masters of the Force. I’ll have a roundup of everything we know about this next era of SWTOR.

Details on the story are lacking, and we likely won’t find out much until it launches. But there are a few hints that tell us where things are headed beyond just going to planet Ryloth.

Finally, this week, Galactic Season 11 is underway. I’ll talk about my experience so far and some important things you need to know about the Meta-Achievement.

Today, we’re looking ahead to Legacy Reborn. It’s the biggest story beat SWTOR has delivered in years, and I’ll tell you about Khar Shian and some cool gameplay changes you’ll get to experience along the way.

I’ll also tell you about the upcoming Twitch Campaign, the latest Cartel Market additions, and more.

Today on the State of the Old Republic Podcast… we’ve reached the end of an era. Game Update 7.9 — Legacy Reborn — is almost here, and with it, the finale of the Legacy of the Sith storyline. It’s been a long trek: from Elom, to Ruhnuk, to Voss, Hutta, Ilum, and more. And now it’s taking us to a world steeped in ancient Sith history. We’re going to Khar Shian.

As they say, when one door closes, another door opens. As Legacy of the Sith ends, the next era is set to begin. I’ll share the first details about 8.0.

And finally, this week, I’ll give you an update on DirectX12, May the 4th, and everything else happening in the Old Republic.

Also, this week, I’ve talked about how adding a new Combat Style is a real possibility for Star Wars: The Old Republic. This week, I’m looking at something bigger: the idea of a brand‑new Class. Is it possible? Sure. But don’t hold your breath.
