Star Wars: The Old Republic’s Legacy of the Sith expansion releases next month

Back in June, Bioware announced the next major expansion for Star Wars: The Old Republic – Legacy of the Sith, promising a return to Manaan, which first appeared in Knights of the Old Republic. The expansion was scheduled for ‘holiday 2021' but now, we have a firm release date. 

A week after Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker releases, Bioware will be launching Legacy of the Sith on the 14th of December. The expansion kicks on Manaan, a planet almost entirely covered by ocean, invaded by the Sith in search of Kolto in the middle of its on-going war with the republic.

The expansion brings  an increase to the level cap, a new main quest line, a new flashpoint, as well as the addition of combat classes, allowing players to mix and match light-side and dark-side abilities.

The New Player Experience has been overhauled, with a new character creation system, as well as new character sheet and inventory menus. The PvP system is getting a revamp, and players will be able to create “combat styles”, so players can experiment with abilities from other classes without changing their story class.

Star Wars: The Old Republic – Legacy of the Sith will release on the 14th of December.

KitGuru Says: Legacy of the Sith is shaping up to be an interesting expansion, although I do wonder if Endwalker's release just a week before will have an impact. Will any of you be diving back into SWTOR for the new expansion?

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
