May the Fourth — a holiday in Star Wars: The Old Republic
Actually, this date is celebrated by all «Star Wars» fans in the world, because the legendary phrase «May the Force be with you» ("May the Force be with you") sounds similar to the designation of the day in the calendar — May the 4th, that is, May 4. This means that now fans of the MMORPG SWTOR based on George Lucas's saga have an excellent reason to return to their favorite game and receive a gift. Also, Electronic Arts employees held a broadcast, where they talked about the change of seasons in the virtual universe and the beginning of the Legacy Reborn era.
How do the authors and fans of Star Wars: The Old Republic celebrate May 4?
On the eve of the premiere of the Disney series «The Mandalorian & Grogu», the game's authors decided to add holiday gifts inspired by this show. You can purchase items from various collections with a discount of 25 to 75%, and until May 22, gamers will be gifted the BX-RC droid pet for logging into their account and the Vectron Phantom RC2 vehicle for an active subscription. As for the major changes in version 7.9, the Legacy of the Sith storyline will conclude and the next one, Legacy Reborn, will begin, which serves as a direct continuation. The story still revolves around the machinations of the Sith, including their artifacts — such as Darth Null's holocron. The developers promise a look at all these events from the points of view of different characters.
Also, users will see the deactivation of the companions terminal (they will remain available in a special tab) and the modified mission «Wreckage on Dantooine», where the requirements for completing the areas have now been lowered. The tenth PvP season «Honor in Battle» over sixteen weeks will bring participants many rewards, including two unique ones — a title and a symbol. Whoever decides to look into the Cartel Market will find items here inspired by the style of «The Mandalorian & Grogu», and with the release of version 7.9.1, the galactic season «Light and Shadow» will start with the return of familiar companions, appearance settings, and trophies.
