All of us are happy to see how well Master’s Enigma has been received. We are on our way to the finale of Legacy of the Sith, coming this Spring! Before I get into new details, let’s go over what’s been happening so far this year.Game Update 7.8.1Narrative contentThe “Master’s Enigma” storyline was released on March 10th with 7.8.1. Players finally confronted Darth Jadus and set out to explore a research vessel that belonged to Darth Nul. I won’t spoil any more in case you haven’t played it yet! Alongside Master’s Enigma, we also release two new Date Night Missions, featuring Torian Cadera and Kira Carsen. Bounty Hunters can join Torian making a traditional Mandalorian dish, and Jedi Knights can meet Kira on Tython to reconstruct important monuments to the planet’s history.One thing to note is that English voices are available for the above content, however, players using a French or German client will be able to play this storyline with English voices and subtitles in their native language.
