During the Game Update 7.4.1 livestream, Narrative Director, Ashley Ruhl, and Lead Writer, Caitlin Sullivan Kelly, announced a new narrative feature that will be debuting in Game Update 7.4.1.
Date Night Companion Missions are designed to give players personal time with their love interests. These weekly repeatable Alliance Alert missions feature fully-voiced, cinematic-only scenes that are unique to the partner’s interest, whether that's going out for drinks at the cantina, a thought-provoking game of Dejarik, or maybe even some sparring practice.
For the launch of Date Night in 7.4.1, we're starting with four companions that are available to all players. They include SIS agent Theron Shan, Sith Lord Lana Beniko, Zakuulan captain Koth Vortena, and former Eternal Emperor Arcann, each with their own unique scene that exemplifies their character. These Date Night missions will be available to players who are currently in a romance with these characters, and only when the characters are currently present in the story.
While 7.4.1 debuts four companions, rest assured that more are on the way! Our goal is to release 1-2 Date Night Missions alongside Galactic Seasons with the intention of having a polished and unique scene for every companion.
We are thrilled to bring this content to our players and we look forward to sharing more over time!
