Broadsword – yes, it still feels weird to type that – has just delivered its latest producer letter on Star Wars The Old Republic, and yes, the bulk of it is just recapping everything the team did all summer, from the date night content to the Acolyte collab. But SWTOR executive producer Keith Kanneg does talk a bit about what players can expect in the months ahead.
“We’re heads down on development for Game Update 7.6 Galactic Threads,” he says, promising a new content type and new lair boss, with full reveals coming mid-October and early November. “We’ll talk about where the Galactic Threads story is going, details on our art modernization efforts, and more so stay tuned!”
Kanneg also says that the team is working on a native Mac launcher.
“We have been doing extensive internal testing for some time now on late model Mac computers and we are getting close to being ready to roll out that testing externally soon. Keep your eyes peeled to the forums in the next couple weeks as we will be posting more details on the technical requirements and testing plans for exactly how everything will work. This stays directly in line with one of the key goals I have talked about when we added Steam as a platform and when we came back to the APAC region, that we are going to keep pushing SWTOR onto new platforms and to new audiences wherever and whenever possible. And the cool thing about the Mac Client is it is the same game, on the same servers as the live game is now, so all of your existing data will be available!”
