Star Wars: The Old Republic: What is Legacy of Sith expansion, trailer, and update to Knights of the Old Republic series

Users can choose to play as one of eight legendary Star Wars classes, including Jedi, Sith, Smuggler, and Trooper.

Created by BioWare and Lucasfilm Games, the game hasn’t had new updates or expansion packs for several years, but a new cinematic trailer shows that this will soon change.

Here’s what you need to know about the upcoming expansion pack.

What is the Legacy of the Sith expansion pack?

Titled Legacy of the Sith, not much is yet know about the DLC.

It will see the return of Darth Malgus, in homage to the very beginning of Star Wars: The Old Republic, and it seems future updates will also stay with the Sith Lord.

“In the story of the game up to this point, Darth Malgus has returned to center stage in the last few years. He’s been revealed to have a separate plan of his own, independently from the rest of the Sith Empire,” creative director Charles Boyd told StarWars.com.

"Certainly at odds with the Jedi, as he’s always been. He’s kind of in pursuit of that plan.

"The players have been slowly unraveling that mystery in learning what it is he’s up to, and this trailer shows a big part of that, a big element in it, and sets up where it’s going to go in the future. Not just in the expansion itself, but beyond that, in the updates to come.”

With Boyd alluding to more future content here, this DLC has been confirmed to be just the first step in a year of ten-year anniversary celebrations.
