The love for Star Wars The Old Republic seems as if it’s on the rise these days, especially following a May 8th developer livestream that previewed the next major content drop, Update 7.7: Dynamic Worlds.
In the livestream, the devs acknowledged that the voice acting strike impacted the rollout of new content but that they’re working on the story anyway for when voice actors can return. This means that previous patch storylines are still in holding, waiting for the lines to be recorded. The main storyline continues to revolve around Darth Malgus and his mysterious plans for the galaxy.
As we wait on all of that, Update 7.7 will go ahead and add an “Eras” summary for completed expansions, many quality-of-life improvements to the mission log, clickable fast travel points on the map, master mode for Propagator Core XR-53, legendary augments, PvP Season 8, dynamic encounters on early planets, character art glow-ups, more skin color options, and a sweeping raft of combat updates targeted for 7.7.1.
The devs also teased a new player species that’s in the making. Taking bets in the comments section for this one!
No hard date for Update 7.7 was given, but the devs said that they are “targeting a late May/early June release.”
