Star Wars: The Old Republic is celebrating its 10 year anniversary with a Legacy of the Sith Expansion.

The popular MMORPG will get even bigger with a massive Legacy of the Sith expansion coming this holiday season on PC. It will continue the game's storyline which is set thousands of years before the war between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. You'll be sent on a military campaign to secure the water planet Manaan as you attempt to figure out what the heck rogue Sith Darth Malgus is up to.

Star Wars: The Old Republic Legacy of the Sith is introducing redesigned combat styles that will blend quality-of-life improvements with class abilities, letting players further customize their Star Wars experience. You'll be able to separate Class Story choice from gameplay and combine that with ability sets from related tech or force wielding classes. For example, you could choose the Trooper's Class Story but then pick a Sniper's Combat Styles. The expansion will also introduce loadouts, which will let you quickly swap between gear. 

Good thing BioWare gave us all this SWTOR news, as Mass Effect 5 and Dragon Age 4 news won't be at this month's EA Play Live.
