Friday Update – Huttball Trailer + PAX Prime Details!

For your viewing pleasure, Huttball! It’s an exciting (if, as noted in our BM&C, perhaps slightly immersion-breaking) addition to PVP – and one where you can play against (and kill) members of your own faction!

In a time of turmoil where two mighty armies ready themselves, many citizens of both the Galactic Republic and Sith Empire have begun to look for an escape from the uncertainty of impending war. For many people on Nar Shaddaa this escape can be found in the gladiatorial confines of ‘The Pit,’ where two teams compete in a violent game for the amusement of Giradda the Hutt and thousands of spectators!

And while we all are focusing on Gamescom this week, let’s not forget PAX next week! The  SW:TOR sure didn’t, and they included the details for us:

Star Wars: The Old Republic Panel

Starting at 2PM on Sunday, August 28th, BioWare and LucasArts will be holding a Star Wars: The Old Republic panel at the Paramount Theatre, where fans will have the opportunity to be among the first to hear new reveals, take part in a Q&A session with developers and see a live demonstration of the opening minutes of the Eternity Vault, a high-level Operation taking place on the planet of Belsavis.

Community Meet & Greet

On Saturday, August 27th we will be holding a Community Meet and Greet at the Grand Hyatt Seattle hotel, located less than half a mile from the Washington State Convention Center. We’ll be starting at 7PM, so be sure to stop by to meet other fans of The Old Republic community as well as spend time with members of the BioWare team.
