EA announces the chance to play as "the Outlander" in
Knights of the Fallen,
a new expansion coming to
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, their
force-powered MMORPG. They say this will launch digitally on October 27th, and
offer
this trailer to
show off what to expect. Here's a bit of the announcement:
BioWare™ is
proud to announce that at Gamescom, it will host a first look at the story and
gameplay of the Outlander in the new story-driven expansion, Knights of the
Fallen Empire. The hosted live demo showcases the Outlander as he faces
difficult choices that have impact on how his story unfolds, some with
irrevocable outcomes. Knights of the Fallen Empire introduces the first nine
chapters of an episodic storyline that continues to evolve with new chapters
released on an ongoing basis. Additionally, on stage at the EA Gamescom Press
Conference, the first gameplay trailer for Knights of the Fallen Empire, “Become
the Outlander” will be unveiled.
Marking a renewed focus on cinematic storytelling in Star Wars™: The Old
Republic™, Knights of the Fallen Empire puts the player at the center of their
own personal Star Wars™ saga, playing as the Outlander, a veteran of the Great
Galactic War. Players will travel to the outer rim of the galaxy and come
face-to-face with a new enemy, the Eternal Emperor, Valkorion, only to discover
that his dark destiny is tied to their own. The expansion will deliver on the
hallmarks of what makes a great BioWare game: new worlds to explore, new
companions to recruit into your alliance, and a dynamic story that players will
be able to shape based on the choices they make.
Star Wars: The Old Republic – Knights of the Fallen Empire is free to all
Subscribers and is coming October 27, 2015.
