We were all impatiently awaiting it, but finally, the announcement of the new expansion "Knights of the Fallen Empire" during the EA conference at E3 finally raises even more questions.
Come on, just for fun, let's review the trailer!
Fortunately, we are still entitled to some information, especially with a new page on the official site. We can see in particular a little information on the characters of this extension.
Arcann
One of the two brothers we see in the trailer, also called "The Black Prince". Wounded during a battle, he tries to turn against his master, confronts his brother who prevents him from doing so and kills him.
Fate is a lie. There is no worse hope. I am beyond prophecy. I forge my destiny by making the tough decisions. It's your turn now.
I am not ruthless. Surrender and you will live. Oppose me and I will make you a monument to the fools who believe their victory is written. Choose well.
Valkorion
The Immortal Emperor. Rule the Empire of Zakuul.
Everything until today has only been a means of achieving my ends. I forged Zakuul's empire to supersede all of my previous creations. It will last forever.
Do not think that my power has limits. The Eternal Throne commands a fleet that will reshape the galaxy in any image I choose. Whatever you hope to do by standing against me, know that you will never succeed.
The Stranger
It is therefore our own character, who becomes the Stranger, and who will have to counter the growling threat by forging an alliance.
Whether you are a Jedi, Sith, Soldier, or Mercenary, you are a veteran of the Great Galactic War. However, your biggest challenge is yet to come.
A new power lurks in the depths of space: a vast land beyond anything you have ever encountered. He awaits your arrival ... and your choices will change everything.
Lana Beniko
We know her well, this Lana, since Alliances Forgées. Apprentice to Dark Arkous, she was one of the first to sense the Revanite threat, and allied with Theron Shan to counter it. But what role will she have in this story?
The Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic have fallen. The Jedi and the Sith took refuge in their temples. There is no one left to stand between the Eternal Throne and the destruction of all that is dear to us.
You have to intervene. Find the strength within you to persevere and sacrifice your needs for those of the galaxy. You are our only hope.
Vaylin
I have always been held back. All my life my power has been constrained by fear of chaos and the blood I might spill on a whim.
But our impulses reflect our true personality. And now that my power is mine, I intend to show myself as I am.
Koth Vortena
Not much information on this one too, except that it is an exiled general from Zakuul.
I grew up on Zakuul, joined the army. I know the potential of her greatness, but I only see the sad reality of what she has become.
Someone must stand up against tyranny, here and now. Make them understand that we reject this distorted view of the galaxy. Someone has to take their destiny into their own hands and fight.
Senya
The vengeful vigilante
I served with honor. I have obeyed the law and pursued the culprits to the far corners of the galaxy. And I lost everyone I loved.
Today we are ruled by the worst of us. Their laws never condemn the monsters who betray our ideals and murder our children. But I will fix it.
HK-55
Logically ... a droid!
Complain: I am programmed for your maximum protection, but the hostile meat piles keep demanding that I reactivate my destruction routines.
Appeasement: I have no particular desire to harm those stupid piles of meat. I was simply designed to be particularly good at it.
Affirmation: Anything that threatens you will regret ever having existed, Master.
So much for this cast of characters from the new expansion. No doubt we should have more information on them over the weeks.
