Writer Drew Karpyshyn reminisces about SWTOR’s Revan

Legendary BioWare writer Drew Karpyshyn is joining the celebration for this month’s release of the classic Knights of the Old Republic on Xbox One. In a short but interesting post, Karpyshyn expresses amazement over the longevity of the character of Revan and his satisfaction over how the team wrapped up his story in Star Wars: The Old Republic.

“With the release of Shadow of Revan, the 2014 expansion for Star Wars: The Old Republic, the conclusion of Revan’s tale was finally told,” he wrote. “It’s amazing to me that the story of this character I helped to create has now spanned more than a decade. The tale of Revan winds its way through all the BioWare Old Republic games, uniting them with a shared heritage and mythology — a common thread linking KOTOR to SWTOR.”

To synergize with the release of KOTOR on Xbox One, SWTOR is currently giving the Rise of the Hutt Cartel and Shadow of Revan expansions to players for free.
