The Old Republic: Darth Revan Returns

We're not saying Revan is back in a traditional sense, but BioWare and LucasArts teased that players will find out the fate of Darth Revan in their pending MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic. Check out the “mysteries” trailer below to set the scene, and make sure to watch till the very end for another surprise.

Revan’s fate grabbed headlines as the most interesting tidbit out of yesterday’s PAX panel, but a few other noteworthy items also surfaced. According to reports by G4, Alderaan will be a prime setting for Imperial vs. Republic PvP, and the game will include standard MMO fair such as guilds, crafting, and raids. This translates over to classes, too. The Old Republic will have easily understood equivalents – the Trooper: Commando is on par with a tank, and the Jedi: Wizard is essentially a healer. BioWare detailed that divergence from traditional MMOs will fall in the areas of player choice and narrative.

Lastly, BioWare clarified that the space combat previously revealed is in effect “on rails,” as the game isn’t using space as a means of exploration – combat is the priority.
