EA announces
the launch of a new expansion for Star Wars: The Old Republic called Star Wars:
The Old Republic - Knights of the Fallen Empire, Anarchy in Paradise, an
interesting title for a series that's more lacking in utopias than authority
figures. This includes the ability to start a new character at level 60, a new
ally mercenary, and a new
subscriber rewards system with monthly
perks.
This launch trailer
shows off some the new content this adds, and here's an explanation:
BioWare
and Lucasfilm today announced the release of the next chapter in the episodic
expansion story, Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ - Knights of the Fallen Empire.
This chapter, Anarchy in Paradise, will be available February 11, 2016 and is
the first in a series of seven new chapters that build on the personal story of
the Outlander. Best of all, Subscribers of Star Wars: The Old Republic, receive
all existing and future chapters of Knights of the Fallen Empire for free* for
the duration of their subscription. New players can jump immediately into the
evolving story of Knights of the Fallen Empire at Level 60 and experience
BioWare storytelling in the rich Star Wars™ universe.
Anarchy in Paradise introduces a new ally, an infamous mercenary known as
Firebrand. Her mission is to destroy the Eternal Empire by attacking Zakuul and
crushing the seat of power, the Eternal Throne, by any means necessary. It will
be up to the Outlander to decide just how far he or she is willing to go to beat
the Eternal Emperor. Players will experience the grim consequences of their past
decisions and feel the grip of the hand of fate on their dangerous journey.
BioWare also announced a new Subscriber Rewards program offering players a
series of unique monthly in-game reward items themed to the HK-55 Assassin
Droid:
Players who are Subscribers on January 11, 2016
will receive HK-55 as a permanent personal Companion.
Those who are Subscribers on the first of each
month, from February through August 2016, will receive an in-game reward
item themed to HK-55’s gear and weapons along with two-day Early Access to
the chapter releasing that month.

the HK-55-inspired Jetpack Mount, built to withstand the harshest of
conditions as players hover their way through the galaxy.
Players who stay subscribed through the period of
January 11 to August 1, 2016 will be invited to play a bonus chapter in
which they can play as HK-55!

The Knights of the Fallen Empire expansion pack launched in the fall, adding
an epic, player-driven storyline that will continue to expand this year. For
those who haven’t played, there has never been a better time to jump in as the
storyline expands its cast of characters alongside unexpected twists and turns
that will keep players engaged as they build their Alliance and prepare to
confront the Emperor.
