Star Wars: The Old Republic's ongoing development switched last year from creators BioWare to Broadsword, with promise that the 13-year-old MMO would continue to receive new story content and improvements.
The approaching update 7.5 looks to bring both, alongside a Spring Abundance festival that includes "seed collecting, dancing, pie-baking, animal rehabilitation, and a galactic egg hunt." Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised at this point by any game that introduces cosy or farming-adjacent activities, and yet here I am, surprised all the same.
Perhaps The Old Republic is already littered with such activities and I just missed them; I still think of it as the much more action- and story-oriented successor to the now-defunct Star Wars Galaxies, an MMO which understood the roleplay potential of being a dancer or furniture maker or otherwise performing banal acitivties in a larger galaxy.
Update 7.5 also introduces a new storyline called Desperate Defiance, in which players make choices which shape the direction of their Padawan, as well as a visual overhaul of the swampy planet Hutta.
The developers showed a cutscene of the former and before-and-after comparisons of the latter during a recent livestream on Twitch.
