Rumour of another expansion

Rumours are in the air of ANOTHER Galaxies expansion and by the looks of this, taking the timeline back again!

 

Live from Leipzig, SOE has just announced its next expansion for SWG: Trials of Obi-Wan.

 

It will introduce Mustafar, a mining planet where the duel between Obi-Wan and Anakin happened.

 

Most of its 50 new quests will revolve around Obi-Wan, living as an NPC on the planet, and you'll need to help him find his way. You'll to find your way too as every quest will ask you to make choices, leading you to the dark or light side of the force. It will impact directly on your standing with Obi-Wan.

 

Those quest will also talk about the history of Mustafar, which was first seen on the movie but which has not been very used in the Star Wars universe.

 

LucasArts and SOE also announce that we'll see NPCs from other Star Wars games in this expansion. The speaker was kinda mysterious about it, but some characters from the old world (?) could make a new apparition as a new "shape" [maybe a ghost?]

 

Misc informations: - many new instanced areas on the planet ("who have really good reasons to be instanced") - Mustafar will be totally aimed towards high level players (but you will be able to bring your friends with the sidekick system) - no new space zone

 

This add-on will be released along with the DVD of Episode 3... that means November 1st

It's to coincide with the release of the ep3 dvd, as the previous expansion was to coincide with its release in the cinemas. Hopefully planets like Bespin and Hoth will come next, unless they bother to do more home planets of playable species first. We'll have to wait until they do Sullust before we can fly around next to a volcanic planet; no space sector for Mustafar.

 

My biggest peeve is poor old Kenobi's ghost. You'd think only Force Sensitives would be able to see him, but no. Visible to all and sundry. He's doomed to play the part of Just Another Ordinary NPC.
