Highlights

Galactic Seasons

Galactic Season 7 “The Greatest Bounty” will begin with the launch of Game Update 7.5.1 on August 20th! Once the update is live, players will be able to make progress through the Free or Subscriber Reward track (both are available to Subscribers!) and new rewards. 

The Bounty Contract Event will be enabled for the entirety of the season. Players will be meeting up with Kantec Bren of the Bounty Broker Association (BBA) thus kicking off “The Greatest Bounty”. This season will feature the world bosses from the Dark vs Light (DvL) event! Each week will feature one Dark Side and one Light Side world boss.  

Date Night

Date Night Companion missions are a new narrative feature that debuted with Game Update 7.4.1.  Vette and Aric Jorgan missions will be going live with 7.5.1. These weekly Date Night missions will be available to players who are currently in a romance with these characters, and only when the companions are available in the player’s story.

Gear progression adjustments to increase reward choice and provide more opportunities for progression will go live with 7.5.1. See here for all the details.
