Star Wars: The Old Republic's First Expansion
BioWare and Electronic Arts have announced the first expansion for Star Wars: The Old Republic, and introduces the Hutts, a new planet, a new level cap, and more.
The Rise of the Hutt Cartel comes out in spring 2013, and will cost $9.99 for subscribers and be $19.99 for everyone else. Either way, if you pre-order the title by January 7 you can get five days early access.
The expansion features new story-based missions on a planet called Makeb, and the five new levels will raise the level cap to 55. New abilities, gear, and skill points will also be available as you progress.
Further details are light right now, but BioWare says that the planet holds a big secret that the Republic and Sith factions will want to get their hands on.
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.
