Star Wars: The Old Republic's Big Update 7.5 Is Coming

You can find details of the highlighted developments and news shared during the livestream below. You can also rewatch the full stream here and learn more about the new content.

• New Main Story Chapter: "Desperate Defiance": Following the events of "Chains in the Dark," players will set out on a risky mission alongside Sa'har to recover the holocron and learn more about Heta's plans. Players will also return to Hutta amid a workers' uprising in the Minboosa District to clash with 'Yusinduu the Hutt,' the operation's owner and "a completely legitimate businessman."
• Dantooine Farm and the Spring Fling Festival: Star Wars: The Old Republic players will get to step away from the fighting for a while and become the caretaker of a farm on Dantooine. Players will first take part in a short storyline introducing the farm, then be given a plot of land to maintain. The Spring Fling Festival will let players take part in many activities such as collecting seeds, dancing, baking cakes, tending animals, and a galactic egg hunt.
• First of Several Solo Adventures: The game will get new, challenging single-player "Adventures." The first of these is the Basilisk Prototype. This adventure ties directly into Lane Vizla's ongoing storyline and focuses on training the Basilisk Prototype B3-S1, known as Bessie. This prototype can become the player's companion and will be available in limited numbers. Players will need to work through stages to train B3-S1 up to its full combat potential and abilities, turning it into a permanent companion.

• New PvP Season Release Schedule: Starting with Update 7.5, PvP seasons will now begin on the same day the update launches. PvP Season 6 will go live for players alongside Update 7.5.
• Cartel Market Updates: The High-Republic-themed Refined Mentor Lightsaber, Double-Bladed Lightsaber, armor set and Hidden Chain Jetpack Mount will release with Update 7.5. Players will also get more character customization options, such as an Ahsoka-inspired Baylan beard and newly improved dye packs.
• Public Test Server (PTS) Starts This Week: Players will be able to test much of the new content shown in the livestream (aside from the story missions) on the PTS, launching in the coming days.
