Star Wars: The Old Republic is getting a new expansion later this year

The game of the Eternal Throne will start later this year for Star Wars fans.

Developer BioWare today revealed Star Wars: The Old Republic’s sixth expansion, Knights of the Eternal Throne. It will release this Fall. The Old Republic is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG) for PC, so new content from expansions like this are essential if it wants to keep players engaged. While the base game is free, expansions are available to those who pay a premium subscription. According to research firm SuperData, Star Wars: The OId Republic was the #4 grossing MMO in the pay-to-play category in May. Its placement in that category instead of free-to-play could be because of its optional subscription.
