E3 2015: Details of Star Wars: The Old Republic expansion leak early, free to subscribers [UPDATE]

UPDATE: Expansion details confirmed and trailer released.

”This expansion also raises the Level cap to 65, and includes the option to create a Level 60 character! This allows you to start fresh in Knights of the Fallen Empire and jump right into the new story content. We are also delivering this story content in a way never before done in Star Wars: The Old Republic: Chapters. The first nine Chapters will be available at launch on October 27th, with new Chapters delivered regularly following that.”

“With the launch of Knights of the Fallen Empire, all of the original eight Class stories will be enhanced, allowing for a faster and more engaging playthrough for new and veteran players. Additionally, many of our existing Flashpoints and Operations are being scaled to 60+, giving you many more Elder Game options at Level 65.”

Original story follows

The upcoming expansion to MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic from BioWare is ”only the beginning” says a leaked breakdown of the Knights of the Fallen Empire add-on. It has since been pulled from the official website.

There’s a third faction threatening the galaxy, according to a capture of the leaked page. It launches October 27th and is ”free to all subscribers”. We can start at level 60, build an alliance and continue class stories.

They are dangling extra rewards for those who are subscribers to the MMO, which includes a new companion that was present in the ‘Return’ cinematic: Nico Okarr - a legendary gunslinger. The best news other than a focus on story-driven choices and new worlds to explore, is that it’s all free to subscribers.

An official reveal trailer has been released and the website has been updated.
