Recently it was said by one of the Devs that they are back in the studio, so it will still be a little while.

Recently it was said by one of the Devs that they are back in the studio, so it will still be a little while.

A few days ago the devs and voice actors stated on Twitter that they were finally able to get all the Voice Acting recorded for the next story update. I think it's reasonable to assume they'll go for their late summer or early fall release date goal.

The pandemic delayed everything in the world and it was openly stated by the devs they couldn't get the voice acting lines recorded because the recording studios were closed. Now that things are a bit better, they were able to record the lines

This is what Charles Boyd, the creative director, wrote earlier on the topic of the next story update:

Hi folks!

 

I hope everyone is doing well, taking care of themselves, and keeping up the social distancing

 

As Keith alluded to a few weeks back, EA, Bioware, and the SWTOR team have shifted to working entirely from home to ensure the ongoing safety of our team members. Like us, the voiceover studios where we record dialogue around the world are also eager to ensure the health and safety of their staff and actors, and have postponed all in-studio recording activities. As y'all know, our cast is pretty huge; some actors do have in-home recording capability, but unfortunately, many others understandably do not.

 

In order to adapt to these unexpected changes and challenges, we've made some updates to our upcoming releases. I've put together a run-down of the changes as we see them currently below. Naturally, this is very much subject to change as circumstances unfold; we will keep you all updated in the coming weeks if any additional changes become necessary.

 

Update 6.1.1 is moving out one week to Tuesday, April 21:

• 6.1.1 will include a number of improvements to Conquests, adjustments to class balance and end-game items, and other quality-of-life improvements.
  
• We will also begin a Double XP event with this update, running from April 21st until May 19th.
  
• However, we have made the difficult decision to delay Master Mode of the Dxun operation out of this update. Based on our testing on PTS, we believe that holding this portion of the content back for further iteration and improvement will lead to a higher quality experience for all of you to enjoy a bit later, in update 6.1.2 (see below).

 

Update 6.2, currently targeting June, has become Update 6.1.2:

• Update 6.1.2 will introduce a unique new in-game event that will join the weekly rotating schedule alongside Dantooine, Gree, etc. The event will be themed around the ultimate Swoop biker rally spread across multiple planets in the SWTOR galaxy. We'll share more info about the insane obstacle courses these daredevil riders are setting up very soon
  
• As mentioned above, Master Mode of the Dxun operation will also be released with this update!
  
• In addition to more quality-of-life updates, we're also targeting some fun additions to Nar Shaddaa Night Life, which will return this summer!
  
• So why is this update changing numbers? Because it was originally intended to include the conclusion of the Kira/Scourge/Satele storyline introduced in Onslaught's finale. Unfortunately, the dialogue has not yet been recorded for that storyline, so we will have to wait to release it until recording operations are back in full swing. Rest assured, getting that story out is our top priority, so as soon as we can get it back on the schedule we will. Based on our current information, our (very) tentative release target for that is late summer/early fall - that patch will become the "new" 6.2.
   
  

 

We really appreciate everyone's patience as we work through these challenging times, and look forward to sharing more concrete details as we get them.

 

Stay safe out there!

The *stories* are *never* visible = spoiled on PTS. Whatever gets released as general content alongside the story will be available no earlier than "sometime after 6.1.2 drops" = sometime after Wednesday 24th. How long after that, I wouldn't want to say, but it probably won't be available *on* Wednesday.
