Keith Kanneg, executive producer on Star Wars: The Old Republic, has written a letter at the official site sharing all the updates to the game so far this year, as well as giving a hint on lots more to come in 2026 and what we can expect for May the 4th.
We started off the year with the brand-new Shadow Sentry armor set and a developer livestream detailing what was coming in Game Update 7.8.1. All of us are happy to see how well Master’s Enigma has been received. We are on our way to the finale of Legacy of the Sith, coming this Spring! Before I get into new details, let’s go over what’s been happening so far this year.
Game Update 7.8.1
Narrative content
The “Master’s Enigma” storyline was released on March 10th with 7.8.1. Players finally confronted Darth Jadus and set out to explore a research vessel that belonged to Darth Nul. I won’t spoil any more in case you haven’t played it yet!
Alongside Master’s Enigma, we also release two new Date Night Missions, featuring Torian Cadera and Kira Carsen. Bounty Hunters can join Torian making a traditional Mandalorian dish, and Jedi Knights can meet Kira on Tython to reconstruct important monuments to the planet’s history.
One thing to note is that English voices are available for the above content, however, players using a French or German client will be able to play this storyline with English voices and subtitles in their native language. As soon as we have an update on when French and German lines can be added, we’ll share when players can expect these! Appreciate your patience in this matter.
Galactic Season 10 “Secrets of the Syndicate”
Our current Galactic Season has launched with both returning player-favorite rewards and new rewards that can be earned! Many players have requested the opportunity to obtain past rewards, so while GS10 is active, companions Altuur zok Adon and PH4-LNX and all other rewards from seasons 1 and 3 can be obtained. For players who have completed these seasons, new rewards can be earned including the companion compatible Blue Shift and Event Horizon mounts!
May the 4th
We have quite a few things that will be running for May the 4th celebrations! Players can expect a Double XP Event, item sales, and a login and Subscriber reward. More details will be posted in late April, so stay tuned!
This is only the start to 2026 and there is a lot more to come. As we wrap up the Legacy of the Sith storyline, we begin the journey to our 15 Year Anniversary Update. There’s a lot we plan to tell you about 8.0 starting with the 7.9 Livestream.
