Now on PTS: First look at the Jedi Guardian Combat Style!
As we announced on last week’s livestream, we are opening our Public Test Server (PTS) so players can give us initial feedback on the updates we’re making to Combat Styles, and the first round of PTS will focus on the Jedi Guardian. Before we get into the details of how players can access this content, we wanted to share some of the philosophy behind our changes to the Jedi Knight.
In the Jedi Knight’s current state, there is quite a bit to learn and memorize--you need to understand active abilities, passive modifiers, selectable utilities, and how they all work together. Our goal is to make these relationships clearer and easier to understand, while also ensuring that the class retains its identity.
To achieve these goals, we are identifying key aspects of the Jedi Guardian, and understanding how players both perceive and utilize the class's abilities. Our focus is to equip the player with knowledge and understanding of these abilities so they can make impactful choices when it comes to ability upgrades and customizations. To make the class feel less encumbered and customization more concise, we are working to reduce the quantity of abilities but ensuring that the class remains distinct and unique.
This round of PTS is a high-level first look at the Jedi Guardian, so it’s not a super deep dive, and there is a limitation on what will be available to play and customize at this time. While you will be able to see the full scope of customization of the Jedi Guardian in a later PTS, you will only be offered default choices for this initial phase.
The main question we want players to focus on is “does this feel like a Jedi Guardian?” We want to make sure that the foundation is strong and everything we build on top of that is in line with our goals for Combat Styles and giving players a sense of new but familiar.
Steam PTS When PTS is available, there will be a new prompt on our storefront page. Clicking the link there will start the process to getting the PTS installed!
Check out our forum post for details on how to access the Jedi Guardian on PTS.
Announcing Legacy of the Sith, the next expansion for Star Wars:The Old Republic
We are thrilled to announce the next era for Star Wars: The Old Republic! The year-long celebration of our 10th anniversary kicks off with Legacy of the Sith, a new expansion that marks the starting point to a full year of galactic intrigue, conflict, and mystery. Legacy of the Sith will send players to the darkest depths and farthest reaches of the galaxy and unlock the ability to choose your personal combat style, allowing for more options than ever before when it comes to living and breathing your own Star Wars fantasy.
An Ongoing Conflict
The war between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire spreads to new worlds! Dangerous fringe groups rise in the dark corners of the galaxy and Darth Malgus pursues an unknown plan… Unravel these mysteries and more as your choices continue to shape the galaxy.
More Choices in How You Play
Introducing Combat Styles! Players can now separate their Class Story from gameplay style for an even greater customization experience. This frees up Advanced Class options as characters can choose any Advanced Class within the Tech or Force playstyle! Play as a Trooper wielding a Sniper Rifle, or a Sith Inquisitor with a lightsaber in each hand, or even secretly use Dark Side powers while posing as a member of the Jedi Order. Loadouts will increase your ability to customize, allowing you to swap between playstyles and gear with a click.
Return to the Underwater Depths
The Sith Empire has invaded Manaan to seize its abundance of kolto, a vital medical resource on all sides of the war. Battle through underwater facilities for control of the planet with separate Imperial and Republic Storylines. Completing the Manaan storyline will unlock a new base of operations for your faction, along with a new daily area!
Explore a Ruined Sith Fortress
The story continues on the planet Elom with the discovery of a ruined Sith Fortress that was mysteriously erased from all records. Rumors persist that Darth Malgus--on the hunt for ancient relics throughout the galaxy--may have found something critical to the future of the Jedi and the Sith. This new storyline will be available both as a solo experience as well as a multiplayer Flashpoint!
Gather Your Allies in Deep Space
An obscure Sith cult is harvesting technology from an ancient weapon of terrifying power. In the new R-4 Anomaly Operation, players will need to gather their allies to take down this galactic threat in deep space!
Shadows of the Underworld
Legacy of the Sith kicks off the next Galactic Season: Shadows of the Underworld! A new batch of rewards themed around the Shadow Syndicate--including Fen Zeil, a Duros Gunslinger and first Duros Companion in The Old Republic --will be available to all participating players. The new season will also come with a host of quality-of-life improvements, thanks to player feedback from our inaugural season in Game Update 6.3.
Improved Player Experience
As we head into our 10th year of service for The Old Republic, we’re taking a deeper look at improving the overall player experience for both newcomers and veterans alike! This initiative begins with the Legacy of the Sith expansion, but will continue throughout the entire year-long celebration. Players can expect a completely new character creation experience, along with new looks for the character sheet, inventory, and much more.
Legacy of the Sith is free to all subscribers and launches Holiday 2021!
The Celebration Continues!
Legacy of the Sith is just the start of our 10th year celebration, and you can expect so much more throughout next year, including regular story updates, Master Mode R-4 Anomaly, further UI updates, a PvP System revamp, more Galactic Seasons, a new Flashpoint, new locations, tech modernization, visual improvements, and maybe even a few more surprises!
We cannot thank you enough for the years of support, and we can’t wait for you to get your hands on Legacy of the Sith this Holiday. Subscribers will get the chance to check out the changes as soon as the expansion hits our public test server in the near future. Keep your eyes on swtor.com for more Legacy of the Sith updates!

Behind the Scenes of “Secrets of the Enclave” Flashpoint, Part 2: Story
With Game Update 6.3 “The Dark Descent,” players pursue Darth Malgus through the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine in the “Secrets of the Enclave” Flashpoint. In a previous interview with World Designer Allison Berryman, we discussed the gameplay design of this new Flashpoint. This time, we sat down with one of our writers, Caitlin Sullivan Kelly, to discuss the writing process for the story of “Secrets of the Enclave” and the introduction of the Jedi Enclave into Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Hi, Caitlin! As mentioned above, you’re part of the SWTOR Writing Team. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
Hey everyone! My name is Caitlin Sullivan Kelly, and I’m a Game Writer on Star Wars: The Old Republic. I’ve been with BioWare Austin for seven years, and I started on the SWTOR team as a Quality Analyst focusing on the Forged Alliances arc and Shadow of Revan expansion’s World and Quest Design. I later became a Narrative Specialist (someone who ensures the story’s quality by providing feedback to the Narrative teams) for several different BioWare projects. This was my main responsibility for many years before I moved into my current position.
And like many others on our awesome team, I love absolutely everything about the Star Wars universe.
What are some other story pieces you've contributed for SWTOR? Has your writing process changed over time?
One of my favorite contributions is the codex entry for “The Ash’ad” on Onderon (and yes, I consider codex entries to be stories!). I was tasked with creating a backstory for the Mandalorians that Shae Vizla wants eliminated, so I wrote one in the form of a journal entry written by a character I created, Mirli Lok. Little did I know that the Ash’ad would become such an important part of our current Mandalorian story!
The first event I wrote was the All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally. I wrote the main introductory mission, the Swoop Gang story arcs, and all the characters (minus Raossk and the Pit Screamers arc, that was the incomparable Allison Berryman).
I don’t think my writing process has changed too much over time, but I’ve definitely noticed a consistent trend: my writing style tends to be very character-focused. I want to know what every character wants, I want to know why they do the things they do, I want every character to have a past, right down to the “unimportant” NPC that you may not even notice lurking in the background.
I think that method of storytelling offers an interesting perspective. Events that feature a big bad (like Darth Malgus) in a mystical space (like a Jedi Enclave) might seem like they’re the only incidents that could shake the foundation of an entire galaxy. But when you focus on characters, you easily see how a rogue group of Mandos or a rowdy gang of swoop bikers are just as important when you’re trying to build a living, breathing, interesting world.
You wrote the short story “Quite A Story To Tell”. What are the biggest differences between writing a short story and writing a story for a Flashpoint?
A short story has the advantage of a reader’s imagination. As long as I give you the basics of where a character is standing, what they’re wearing, what they’re saying... your mind is going to get to work, and it’s going to show you something amazing. It’s also a lot easier to really dig into the details of what characters are thinking and feeling, and that’s something that isn’t quite so easy to explore in the context of a video game. And there are many other “video game aspects” you need to consider when writing a Flashpoint that don’t come up while creating a short story.
For example, I didn’t want the visuals of the Flashpoint’s environment to feel repetitive, so I came up with reasons why the player would need to move through areas around the enclave and not just certain parts of the interior. At the same time, I had to consider the workload of the environment art and cinematic teams (who are all rockstars). The same can be said for gameplay (another team of rockstars); I didn’t want players to only be fighting soldiers from the opposite faction, so I came up with other types of enemies (like the big Graul boss!) for the players to engage with.
The overarching context the Flashpoint fits into also needed a lot of consideration. Since this Flashpoint connects past events with future SWTOR narratives, I consulted with the Lucasfilm story group (who were integral in helping us refine the details of Malgus’s long-term plans) about the plot’s major beats and finer points.
When it comes to dialogue, writing a short story is a lot less involved. You have a plot that your characters move through, and your characters behave a certain way as that plot advances. But in a Flashpoint, there’s a lot more to account for, like choices the player can make along the way, choices the player has made in the past, opportunities that allow players to react and speak in ways they feel suits the character they’ve built, and ways for non-player characters to help advance the narrative that are interesting and engaging.
The workflow and pipeline for both projects are hugely different as well. When I had the idea for “Quite A Story To Tell,” I wrote the story in a few evenings, incorporated feedback from the writing team and from Lucasfilm, then sent it off for publication. Taking my vision for “Secrets of the Enclave” and making the Flashpoint a reality took a whole lot of communication, collaboration, and hard work from an entire team of amazingly creative people.
In this Flashpoint, players are joined by different companions based on their faction: Aryn Leneer and Arn Peralun for Republic players and Darth Rivix and Darth Krovos for Empire players. Why did you choose these companions for this story?
On the Republic side, I felt Aryn Leneer was a super obvious choice, right from the start. Even before I really knew what I wanted the inner workings of the Flashpoint’s story to look like, I knew she had to be involved. I had read “Deceived” by Paul S. Kemp after we first introduced Aryn in SWTOR, and I desperately wanted to continue exploring this headstrong Jedi Knight and the conflict between these two extremely powerful (in their own ways) Force users--especially after we set the stage at the end of “Pinnacles of Power” for the two to cross paths again.
Like Aryn Leneer, Darth Rivix is a newer character in SWTOR who’s intrigued me ever since his introduction. He’s so charming and helpful, but what is he really after? Does he truly just want to help me succeed? Will he stab me in the back? There’s so much fantastic storytelling potential with Rivix that I wanted to get him out of the Odessen base and give players time to see what he’s all about, as well as the opportunity to see him in action.
After discussing my initial ideas with Charles, we decided that we wanted to mirror Aryn Leneer’s involvement on the Empire side and include a character with some kind of connection to Darth Malgus. Rivix didn’t quite fit the bill, so we decided to include Darth Krovos, another character that I thought players would enjoy spending some time with out in the field.
Since I wrote Darth Rivix to be sort of a tour guide through the enclave ruins, we needed someone to fill that role on the Republic side. Arn Peralun has worked closely with one of the most knowledgeable Jedi of all time, Master Gnost-Dural, and Arn has shown a talent for having encyclopedic knowledge himself--he was very informed about Onderon when we introduced him in Onslaught. Pair all of that up with the fact that Arn is working his way toward becoming a full-fledged Jedi Knight, and he was the perfect candidate for the second Republic companion.
It’s been two years since the release of Dantooine as a planet in SWTOR. Back then, did the team want to visit the Jedi Enclave?
Absolutely! I definitely remember design conversations where we discussed not wanting to take the player to Dantooine without including a reference to the old enclave. Ultimately, we knew that if we were going to introduce such a major landmark into SWTOR, the motivation for sending the player into the actual ruins needed to be something with more of a narrative connection than a pirate invasion. So we waited for a more appropriate moment.
When Charles wrote the excellent epilogues to our “Pinnacles of Power” update and showed Malgus heading to Dantooine, we knew we’d found the perfect reason to get players into the old enclave. A force to be reckoned with like Darth Malgus is definitely something that would motivate you to get to Dantooine as soon as possible and explore every dark corner of the ruins.
Do you have anything else you would like to add?
I want to say thank you to our amazing community for the incredibly kind words about what I’ve put out there so far, and I truly appreciate the time you all take to discuss these stories in such detail! Creating a story for something as expansive and meaningful as Star Wars comes with a special set of challenges, but when you’re writing stories for such a substantial universe, when you’re designing content that will live alongside the adventures that hold a special place in your heart and were so integral in your formative years… the bar is set especially high.
The expectation I always set for myself when I’m writing is to craft an experience that any SWTOR player (including myself!) will enjoy and to include something--anything--recognizable that players can relate to and connect with. I love when players share their thoughts about what I’ve written and describe how their experience with my content affected them. It makes me immeasurably happy that for many fellow SWTOR players, I am able to meet those expectations!
Thank you for chatting with us, Caitlin! As a reminder, the “Secrets of the Enclave” Flashpoint is already available, just check out Game Update 6.3 “The Dark Descent.” Jump into the game now to explore the Jedi Enclave and discover Darth Malgus’ secrets!
