Ancient Hypergates Gameplay

Are you excited about the new SWTOR Warzone, Ancient Hypergates? I was definitely interested in knowing more about this warzone, the objectives and what it would be like. I really enjoy PVP in SWTOR but doing the same warzones over and over can get boring. A new warzone will be a nice refreshing addition to the game.

Anyway, some of the folks in Cologne, Germany at Gamescom were able to visit the SWTOR booth and get a good look at Ancient Hypergates for themselves. Here’s some info on it complete with a gameplay video so you can see for yourselves:

The objective of the warzone is to activate the two pylons which then start a countdown before they explode.
To save yourself from the explosion all players must go to the middle room where they fight it out until the explosion is over.
All the while each kill brings you closer to activating a special end event that will defeat the losing team for good.

“We are showing footage of the new, not yet released warzone in Star Wars: The Old Republic, called Ancient Hypergates. This was shot at SWTOR booth during Gamescom 2012. The warzone is missing the ending effect.”
