Star Wars Squadrons, a multiplayer dogfighter from EA, launched yesterday, giving players the ability to engage in their own epic space battles. And instead of feeling threatened by the new player in the field, Star Wars: The Old Republic is welcoming this launch with a promotion of its own.
BioWare said that any player who logs into SWTOR between October 20th and November 17th will get a free minipet inspired by Star Wars Squadron. The pet in question is a small version of Squadrons’ Model Corellian Stardrive Vanguard.
“As a special congratulations to the Motive team, we have built a remote-controlled starship minipet based on their design,” said BioWare. “We worked hand-in-hand with the Motive team to ensure our design was influenced by Vanguard Squadron while also remaining true to The Old Republic being thousands of years earlier.”
