Patch notes posted for SWTOR’s Game Update 4.7.1: Shroud of Memory
Patch notes for tomorrow’s Star Wars: The Old Republic update have been posted on game’s official site.
This patch is titled “Game Update 4.7.1: Shroud of Memory” and it includes several new features on top of general bug fixes and balancing tweaks.
As we shared last week, the servers will be down from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. PT tomorrow (Wednesday) in order to apply the patch. The official SWTOR.com site will also be inaccessible during that time.
Here are a few highlights:
- A bonus chapter titled “Shroud of Memory” is included. You will be able to play as assassin droid HK-55 in order to escape from a hidden fortress ruled by a galactic villain named Shroud. This chapter is available to those who have completed Alliance Alert: To Find a Findsman, Alliance Alert: Arma Rasa, and “Chapter IX: The Alliance,” and have been a subscriber from January 11 to August 1, 2016.
- A new Alliance recruit is available on Nar Shaddaa in the form of former Republic Sergeant Fideltin Rusk.
- Bounty Contract Week will return, running from September 6 at 4 a.m. PT to September 13 at 4 a.m. PT.
Other balancing tweaks and fixes have been made, plus additional Social Ranks have been added. Full patch notes can be found at SWTOR.com.
Gamespot also posted an article on the new chapter, which has an estimated length of one-and-a-half hours.
The article notes that the chapter will feature “robot-inspired combat abilities” while locations unfit for organic beings make an appearance. Among these locations are “300-degree lava tubes, the boundless ocean depths, and the vast unknown of space.”
This chapter is also the first time players can play as someone other than themselves.
