SWKOTFE to Launch with First 9 Episodic Chapters of Story

The official launch date for Knights of the Fallen Empire is October 27, 2015. From that date on, you can begin enjoying all the new expansion for SWTOR has to offer, which will include the first 9 episodic chapters of story. All features will be available at the start of Early Access on October 20, 2015.

Are you looking to get pre-launch reward items? If you have an active subscription from July 31 through October 19, 2015, you will receive your Pre-Launch Reward items via in-game mail at the start of Early Access on October 20, 2015. If you are not eligible for Early Access, you will receive your rewards via in-game mail on October 27, 2015.

You can get the Epic Story XP Boost automatically as an active subscriber. The boost expires October 19, 2015.

Can I still get Knights of the Fallen Empire if I don’t have Rise of the Hutt Cartel or Shadow of Revan? All subscribers  will receive access to Rise of the Hutt Cartel and Shadow of Revan starting on October 27, 2015. Knights of the Fallen Empire is not available for pre-order as it is free to all active subscribers. You must be an active subscriber to receive the expansion. So again, if you’re interested in KOTFE, become or remain a subscriber.

Knights of the Fallen Empire will launch with the first 9 episodic Chapters of the story. The remaining chapters will be released monthly starting in early 2016. If you unsubscribe after October 27, 2015, you will keep the first 9 Chapters of Knights of the Fallen Empire, but will not receive any additional Chapters when they are released.


If you subscribe after the launch of Knights of the Fallen Empire, you will receive all the content that has been released up to that date. However, as a subscriber you are eligible for great benefits that you don’t want to miss out on such as a monthly Cartel Coin grant and access to the full spectrum of character species.

Is Outlander a new class? No, Knights of the Fallen Empire keeps the 8 core classes, but your character’s story becomes that of the Outlander, a veteran of the Great Galactic War.
