Hi folks!

We’re wrapping up the first quarter of 2025, and we have quite a bit happening right now! Let’s get into what’s new in SWTOR the last few months, and then move into what will be coming in the near future.

Game Updates

We kicked off with Game Update 7.6.1 featuring Galactic Season 8 “Rising Powers”, letting players take advantage of special buffs that would help them demolish their enemies in Uprising Encounters. This season comes with a plethora of new rewards including items like the Senator Consort hairstyle and Coruscant and Kaas Compact Cruiser Mounts inspired by the Disney+ series Andor™.

(Appearance Options: Senator’s Consort Hairstyle)

Many rewards are also heavily themed around a couple of our starter planets, Coruscant and Dromund Kaas.

For players who enjoy decorating their Strongholds, we also released Coruscant and Dromund Kaas themed Utility Bundles that can be found in the Cartel Market.

Public Test Server (PTS)

We recently opened up a new round of PTS to share progress on character modernization updates. We want to thank everyone who has participated and your feedback is a critical part of putting the final touches on this work. We’ll be releasing updates to character models over time beginning with the neckline seam improvements which will be released in Game Update 7.6.1c. Further refinements to face smoothing and other initiatives will appear on PTS at a later time.

Currently, we are gathering feedback on character modernization until April 3rd and then we will be preparing to open the PTS to release Master Mode for Relentless Replication!

Experienced players who enjoy a good challenge will want to check out the newest mode for this encounter. We will be gathering feedback here!

More details regarding the PTS will be posted when we have them, so keep an eye on our forums and social channels for future updates.

What else is happening?

As a reminder, the AC-10 Disruptor Mount Twitch Drop is currently active until April 8th. Watch four hours of live SWTOR content on Twitch to unlock this reward. If you haven’t yet, hook up your SWTOR and Twitch accounts on the My Account page on swtor.com to ensure that you can obtain this mount and future Drops.

While we are not hosting a Cantina, Ashley, Jackie, and Joe will be out and about meeting players and representing SWTOR during that weekend.

SWTOR will also have a featurette on the Star Wars Celebration Live™ stream as well. We will communicate the exact date and time when it will air, and you will not want to miss it. We plan to show some never before seen footage, so be sure to tune in!

Naturally, we will also have special in-game rewards available to partake in the festivities:

That brings us to May! We will have a log in reward to celebrate May 4th, and a variety of events and sales happening during that time. Stay tuned for more details!

We also anticipate hosting the Game Update 7.7 livestream sometime in early May. More Dynamic Encounters and Master Mode for Relentless Replication will be coming in 7.7 as will additional character customization options and more. We’ll go over all the details in the stream, so keep an eye out for the date announcement.

Is there any update on story content?

The team has not stopped working on our story updates! We shared details about "Galactic Threads" in the 7.6 livestream, and are looking forward to sharing a glimpse of "Master's Enigma" in the 7.7 livestream. We know story is a vital part of what makes SWTOR so special, and we're eager to release these updates as soon as we can. We thank you for your patience and understanding, and we're looking forward to bringing these updates live!
