Sa’har, your padawan, in Star Wars: The Old Republic’s update 7.5.

Star Wars: The Old Republic’s ongoing developmentswitched last year from creators BioWare to Broadsword, with promise that the 13-year-old MMO would continue to receive new story content and improvements.

The approaching update 7.5 looks to bring both, alongside a Spring Abundance festival that includes “seed collecting, dancing, pie-baking, animal rehabilitation, and a galactic egg hunt.”

Update 7.5 also introduces a new storyline called Desperate Defiance, in which players make choices which shape the direction of their Padawan, as well as a visual overhaul of the swampy planet Hutta. The developers showed a cutscene of the former and before-and-after comparisons of the latterduring a recent livestream on Twitch. Hutta looks… greyer now?

Broadsword are also responsible for maintaining other long-running MMOs,UltimaOnline and Dark Age Of Camelot, and 7.5 isn’t their first update to TOR since taking over - there have been several. Last month they introduced Date Night companion missions inupdate 7.4.1, which are “fully-voiced, cinematic-only” scenes in which players spend time with their romanced companion.

Update 7.5 doesn’t have a release date yet, but it should appear on the test server soon.
