Game Update 7.8.1 "Master's Enigma"

Highlights

Master’s Enigma Storyline

The Empire/Republic leadership makes their way to Odessen to discuss the developments in the Mandalorian conflict, Darth Nul’s holocron, and Malgus’ escape from the fleet. Amidst the chaos, Darth Jadus makes contact with the player and offers guidance in the conflict to come. The player will also discover more about Darth Nul aboard her research vessel, The Enigma.

Update on story content

English voices for upcoming content are in place, however, at the launch of 7.8.1, players using a French or German client will be able to play Master’s Enigma and the new Date Night missions with English voices and subtitles in their native language. As soon as we have an update on French and German recordings, we'll share when players can expect these to be added!

Date Night Missions

The Torian Cadera and Kira Carsen Date Night Missions will be dropping with 7.8.1! Bounty Hunters can join Torian making a traditional Mandalorian dish, and Jedi Knights can meet Kira on Tython to reconstruct important monuments to the planet’s history.
