Broadsword, the developer, and Electronic Arts, the publisher, declared the launch date for the next significant update of Star Wars: The Old Republic. Labeled as Dynamic Worlds, update 7.7 is set to unveil a wealth of fresh content for both seasoned players and newcomers. Expectations are high with the inclusion of a new PvP season, dynamic interactions, and user-friendly enhancements for the long-standing MMORPG built around the iconic film series. The exciting news is that fans will not have to wait much longer for this upcoming update.
On May 28th, the Dynamic Worlds update for Star Wars: The Old Republic will become accessible. However, it’s important to note that on the same day, servers will go offline for about four hours starting at 7 A.M. Central Time (12 P.M. UTC) to deploy update 7.7. More detailed patch notes will be released for players to review on May 27th, a day before the update is implemented. For those eager to learn more about what’s included in the update directly from the developers, a recording of the livestream focusing on Dynamic Worlds can be found below.
Highlights from the Star Wars: The Old Republic Dynamic Worlds update also feature the eighth Player versus Player (PvP) Season, themed as Champions of the Wild. This season introduces several new rewards for participants and allows players to buy season levels using Cartel Coins, which can be purchased with real money, much like Galactic Seasons. However, purchasing levels using credits remains an option.
A standout feature is the persistently challenging Replication Master Mode. This ramps up the game’s hardest level for the XR-53 boss encounter in the quest. This upgrade will introduce fresh Achievements and rewards, such as Legendary Enhancements and a novel mount.
The Old Republic will bring character modernization enhancements. This includes refining certain definitions, improving Chiss textures, and addressing issues with the preview window. You can expect these changes in update 7.7.
It’s important to mention that the release of the Galactic Threads and Master’s Enigma storyline has been postponed. This delay is because of the ongoing SAG-AFTRA voice actor strike. However, the developers have provided some updates about the content. They assure us that the development of this content is almost complete, and they will announce when and how it will be made available once it’s ready for release.
Here are all the changes coming according to the recap of Star Wars: The Old Republic update 7.7:
Star Wars: The Old Republic Update 7.7 “Dynamic Worlds” Recap:
Galactic Threads
To remind you, the story in Galactic Threads picks up right where Desperate Defiance (Game Update 7.5) ends. As you chase after Darth Malgus and Shae Vizla, you’ll also delve into the mystery surrounding Darth Nul’s holocron, keep tabs on the danger posed by the Hidden Chain, and unravel the grand scheme that Malgus has in store for the galaxy.
Master’s Enigma
Straight after the happenings in Galactic Threads, Master’s Enigma unfolds. Here, players delve deeper into the exploration of Darth Nul’s holocron, uncovering a secretive character who has been orchestrating events from the shadows…
We’ve been working on our planned storylines for versions 7.6 (Galactic Threads) and 7.7 (Master’s Enigma). Development is almost complete! As soon as all the remaining parts are in place, we’ll let you know how to access this content so you can play it. We can’t wait for you to explore the upcoming chapters of Legacy of the Sith, and we thank you for your continued patience!
Eras Window
No matter if you’re just starting out, coming back, or an experienced player, the Eras Window will assist you on your adventure through SWTOR’s narrative. The game’s content, from its inception up until now, is grouped into Eras. Each Era offers a summary and a visual timeline of the storyline, helping you understand where you stand in the main story progression, what you’ve accomplished so far, and what lies ahead for each of your characters.
This window serves as an excellent recap for you when revisiting a character you haven’t controlled in a while. The summaries are customized to your storyline progression, displaying where that character fits within the grand scheme of the plot, enabling a seamless transition into their upcoming mission without delay!
Mission Log Updates
In addition to launching the Eras Window, we’ve also enhanced the Mission Log with a few quality-of-life updates. These improvements aim to make crucial information more accessible as you progress through the game. Be sure to compare the previous and current images to notice the changes, but here are some key modifications we’ve made:
1. Improved layout for better readability
2. Streamlined navigation for easier access to information
3. Enhanced search functionality for quicker retrieval of specific details
4. More intuitive design to make understanding the information more straightforward.
- Introduction of a Galaxy Map button within your Mission Log for easier navigation from Missions to galactic travel!
- Reorientation of various UI elements for improved navigation.
- Adjustments to make Mission Prioritization clearer (Ex: reduction of non-crit path Missions using Purple)

Augment Updates
In the latest update, you can now obtain Epic Enhancements through the Master Level of Persistent Duplication! Daring artisans who successfully conquer XR-53 (with a bit of fortune on your side) will embark on their new crafting adventure with our fresh line of Legendary implants. For those who aren’t ready to dive into Master Mode just yet, we are modifying our PvP Weekly Quests and Veteran Level Persistent Duplication for alternative paths to acquiring these new enhancements as well.
