Landing in Star Wars: The Old Republic today is the 5.1 update, Defend the Throne, the headlining feature of which is a set of five brand-new Uprisings: small-group instanced content. Players can further expect the new master chapter difficulty tier and achievements and new galactic command gear mechanics, among a number of quality-of-life and bug fixes.
Massively OP SWTOR specialist Larry Everett chatted with BioWare Creative Director Charles Boyd for an early-issue Hyperspace Beacon yesterday, getting the low-down on Uprisings. Check that out, and then hit the patch notes and brand-new trailer!
