SWTOR News and Updates

Hey everyone! I’m working on my next podcast which I’ll record and publish after the 7.7 Livestream. Fingers crossed that the Devs will tell us they’re able to move forward with the story and that we’ll get the 7.6 and 7.7 story updates soon™.

I don’t know that Broadsword has officially stated this, but the reason for the delay is the ongoing video game voice actors strike which began on July 16, 2024. There are reports that there may be some light at the end of the tunnel – Video Game Companies Release Final Offer to SAG-AFTRA Addressing AI Demands Amid 9-Month Strike.

While we wait for the 7.7 Livestream, I wanted to make sure that everyone was aware some time sensitive activities happening in the Old Republic.

First is the aforementioned 7.7 Livetream scheduled for May 8th on SWTOR’s official Twitch Channel.

Since this is a “Major” update, you can expect it to be available on the PTS before it goes live. And there will likely be a Twitch Drop associated with the livestream as well.

May the Fourth has come and gone, but the celebration continues in the Old Republic. You have until May 16th to enjoy the following,

1. Log into the game and receive the B25-SAL Probe Droid Min-Pet.
2. Double XP Event.
3. Get 50% off on all Collection Unlocks.
4. All “Inspired By” items on the Cartel Market will be 25-75% off.

Star Wars Celebration has come and gone, but you have until May 30th to get a couple of items.

1. Enter the code SWTORSWC25 to receive the Amethyst Vulptilla mini-pet. You can redeem the code here.
2. If you subscribe to the game before May 30th, you will receive the Star Wars Celebration™ themed Naboo Type-C speeder mount.

And finally, for those of you interested in giving SWTOR a deeper dive, you can purchase the Master the Fight: Storm I Edition Bundle. It’s available until June 17th, and includes –

• 180 Days Subscription Time + 600 Cartel Coins per month
• 5500 Cartel Coins
• Storm I Mount
  • Rideable at level 1
  • Base speed as fast as Speeder Rank 5
  • Supercharger Speed Boost
  • Minipet Platform
  • Firing Cannons Flourish
• Primary Chrome Silver Dye (x5 per character)
• Secondary Chrome Silver Dye (x5 per character)
• Bundle is priced at $99.99 USD

That’s what happening in the Old Republic right now. I can’t wait for the 7.7 Livestream and seeing what the developers have in store for the Summer of SWTOR!
