SWTOR gives a skimpy roadmap while Star Wars Galaxies is remembered… in song form

  • 14

It’s a two-for-one Star Wars special in this post today! A short post on the Star Wars: The Old Republic forums shed a very dim light on plans that BioWare has for the MMORPG in the near future.

With 5.10.1 out the door I know you are all curious what is coming next. We have talked about some of this in the past but I want to put a new update all in one place.

  • Bugs from 5.10.1 – We still have a few issues that popped out of 5.10.1 (such as Vette causing hitching) that we want to address. Our next planned patch was actually 5.10.2 but we want to get a bug fix patch out sooner then that if we can. It won’t be huge but getting a few of these fixes out soon is something we are actively investigating. I will pass on more details on timing and what will be fixed once I know more.
  • 5.10.2 – Our next update is coming… We are prepping a couple of blogs around what you can expect in this update along with getting things staged to get it in your hands on PTS. Look for more info on this update in early March.
  • After 5.10.2 – We should have details on our SW Celebration Cantina announced toward the end of February. Join us in Chicago if you can, or just keep your eyes posted on the interwebs during Celebration for more news from us on what is coming this year.

The next steps contain bug fixes for Patch 5.10.1, a look next month at Patch 5.10.2’s feature set, and a SW Celebration Cantina in Chicago that will contain “more news from us on what is coming this year.” So while it’s more than nothing, it’s certainly less than the meaty reveals that SWTOR fans have hoped to see. Perhaps BioWare has its attention turned elsewhere these days?

But if you still carry a torch for the long-departed Star Wars Galaxies, creator Raph Koster has a suggestion for your viewing hours. He pointed fans toward Porter Robinson’s EDM album that was inspired partly by the MMO and its sunset. You can check that music out as well as its artist streaming and talking about the game after the break.

TIL that an EDM musician named @porterrobinson made an album in 2014 inspired in part by Star Wars Galaxies closing down. https://t.co/QKdRT38DXy https://t.co/Akd2t52H0c
