Star Wars: The Old Republic Goes Free
You won't be able to hit level cap, but soon you'll be able to visit that galaxy far, far away without paying for a limited trial.
BioWare took advantage of EA's E3 press conference to reveal some mostly minor details about upcoming content on the way to The Old Republic, including the reveal of a new exploreable planet for players that will let you learn more about the Hutt Cartel.
More significantly for many potential players, The Old Republic will receive a free-to-play version this July, in which gamers can take characters up to level 15 without any cost.
While The Old Republic has lost some subscribers after the initial rush in the early months after launch, the game continues to go strong, and it's clear BioWare is still adding new content on a regular basis. Will the chance to play for free be enough to make you give the Star Wars MMO a try?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
