Hey you know what should be announced today that will totally not get buried by any other major events? The release date for the first Star Wars: The Old Republic expansion to come out in the last couple of years. But that’s just the kind of half-witted, scruffy-looking logic that’s coming from BioWare today, so let’s roll with it!
So yes, SWTOR’s Onslaught expansion just got a launch date of October 22nd, which is a delay from its original release window of September. BioWare said that this was in response to internal testing that showed more work that needed to be done for it. Onslaught is bringing out a new Jedi vs. Sith storyline that takes place on Onderon and Mek-sha. The Dxun operation that is included in the expansion is due to start testing soon.
As a way to counter some of the complaints about the delay, BioWare said that it will now award a free Nautolan species unlock to any and all players who are subscribed sometime in the window between September 1st and October 22nd.
