Star Wars: The Old Republic ‘Shadow of Revan’ expansion launching December 9

[Mr.Karizmatic]

 

BioWare has announced that Star Wars: The Old Republic‘s second full expansion, Shadow of Revan, will be available from December 9—or December 2 if you pre-order.

 

The expansion will increase the level cap by five, add two new planets (Rishi and Yavin 4), two new role-neutral Flashpoints, four Hard Mode Flashpoints, two new Operations, and a replacement for the game’s Skill Trees called Disciplines.

 

As well as this new content, there are also some bonuses for players who throw down the $19.99 to pre-order the expansion. Players who pre-order by November 2 will get one week of early access, a Grand Statue of Revan for their Strongholds, and the game’s first expansion for free (already free for subscribers). Also, subscribers who pre-order get all of the above plus a 12x XP boost for class story missions from the moment they pre-order to December 1.

 

The developer also offered a brief explanation about the new discipline system: “At its very core, the Disciplines System replaces the current Skill Tree system while offering a wider array of impactful utility choices to expand their character and the ability for a character’s identity to surface much earlier in the level path. The Disciplines System changes the way we think about and develop the classes themselves, which will translate into a more balanced game and the capacity to expand levels and abilities more often. We’re excited about this system and the possibilities it unlocks for the future.”
