If you were unable to watch everything we showed off during our Game Update 7.9 "Legacy Reborn" livestream, don't worry! Here's a breakdown of what we talked about.
Active Twitch Drop
From now until May 14th, watching 1 hour of live content on Twitch will grant you the Dantooine (Crash Site) Poster Decoration!
When 7.9 goes live, players will need to watch 4 hours of live Twitch content to get their hands on the Nightshade Hssiss Mount.
Update on story content
English voices for upcoming content are in place, however, at the launch of 7.9, players using a French or German client will be able to play Legacy Reborn with English voices and subtitles in their native language. As soon as we have an update on French and German recordings, we'll share when players can expect these to be added!
[SPOILERS AHEAD if you have not played Game Update 7.8.1: Master’s Enigma]
Legacy Reborn Storyline
With the help of a traitorous ally, Darth Jadus has stolen Darth Nul’s holocron from you, the key to her masterworks involving the Force. He is on his way to Khar Shian, where Heta Kol and the Hidden Chain have reconstructed Darth Nul’s ultimate machine. Malgus and Shae Vizla are also on their way to the Sith moon, each with their own goals. With all eyes turned toward Khar Shian, you and your allies must prepare for the final showdown of Legacy of the Sith.
New type of gameplay in Legacy Reborn
The final epic confrontation on Khar Shian will have the player taking the gameplay perspectives of different characters during the final battle. Below is an example of the player fighting as Lana Beniko.
Quality of Life Updates
Companion Terminal
Starting in 7.9, the companion terminal will be disabled and all narratively unavailable companions will remain available in gameplay under a new tab: “Ineligible for Story”. This includes any companion removed through story progression (KOTFE) or through choices (killed/exiled).
Dantooine Dynamic Encounters
Updates have been made to the Intro Mission “Wreckage on Dantooine” with cleaner onboarding to content such as hazards, the ability to skip the mission on subsequent plays, and a reduction in the requirements for Zone progression.
The Orbital Core encounter will be separated from Wreckage on Dantooine allowing players to complete the story mission without defeating the final boss.
The 7.9 patch notes will contain a detailed breakdown of specifics around these changes and more.
