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.
