SWTOR has finally turned the page on Legacy of the Sith, and now we’re getting the first real hints of what comes next. In the latest Executive Producer Letter for Q2 2026, Keith Kanneg confirmed that Broadsword is now “fully focused” on developing content for Game Update 8.0, with the first Public Test Server phase planned to begin in the coming weeks. That first PTS phase will include the opening boss of the new Operation, plus level 85 testing for select Classes, including Sentinel, Vanguard, Sage, and their Imperial mirrors. That is the important bit. Not because “PTS soon” is the flashiest sentence ever written. It isn’t. But because SWTOR has now moved out of the long, messy shadow of Legacy of the Sith and into the build-up for its 15th anniversary update. Legacy of the Sith Is Finally Done The letter looks back at the recent run of story…

SWTOR’s Legacy Reborn Trailer Is Late, But It Still Makes the Sith Finale Look Dangerous
SWTOR has released a new launch trailer for Legacy Reborn, and yes, it is a little funny that the “launch trailer” arrived after many players have already launched themselves directly into ancient Sith trouble. But timing jokes aside, the trailer does something useful. It reminds everyone what Legacy Reborn is really about: Darth Jadus, Darth Nul’s masterworks, Khar Shian, Naga Sadow’s forgotten fortress, and the kind of Old Republic Sith nonsense that makes this game still feel uniquely valuable in Star Wars. You can watch the new Legacy Reborn launch trailer below: Jadus Is Back Where He Belongs: Making Everything Worse The trailer’s setup is simple and sharp. Darth Jadus has stolen the key to Darth Nul’s masterworks, and the race to Khar Shian has begun. That is a very SWTOR sentence. Most Star Wars stories would be content with “bad guy stole dangerous thing.” SWTOR, being SWTOR, turns that…
SWTOR 7.9 Sets Up the End of Legacy of the Sith — and Teases Ryloth for 8.0
SWTOR is about to close one chapter and quietly open a much bigger one. Broadsword has posted its full Game Update 7.9 “Legacy Reborn” livestream recap, and the headline is clear: Legacy of the Sith is heading into its finale, Darth Jadus is back in the middle of the chaos, Khar Shian is becoming the next major flashpoint, and SWTOR 8.0 is already being positioned as the start of a new era. The full breakdown is available in the official Game Update 7.9 “Legacy Reborn” livestream recap. Darth Jadus, Khar Shian, and the Final Showdown The story setup is spicy in exactly the way SWTOR does best: too many dangerous Sith, too many personal agendas, and one ancient Force machine that absolutely should not be left unattended. According to Broadsword, Darth Jadus has stolen Darth Nul’s holocron with help from a traitorous ally. He is now heading to Khar Shian,…
