BioWare and EA released the official "Legacy Reborn" launch trailer for Game Update 7.9 [1], marking the conclusion of the Legacy of the Sith storyline.

This update represents a pivotal narrative shift for the long-running title. By wrapping up a multi-year story arc, the developers are clearing the path for new content while providing closure to the existing plot lines that have defined the current era of the game [1], [2].

The trailer showcases a multi-perspective battle set on the forgotten fortress of Khar Shian [1]. Visuals from the announcement include combat featuring Malgus and Shae Vizla, as well as a scene involving Darth Jadus and Darth Nul during a key-theft [1].

Beyond the narrative conclusion, the update introduces PvP Season 10 [2]. The developers also added new items to the Cartel Market to coincide with the release [2].

To promote the launch, BioWare offered rewards for players who watched content on Twitch. The promotion deadline for these rewards was May 14, 2026 [3]. Players could earn a Dantooine poster reward by watching one hour [3] or four hours [3] of Twitch content, depending on the reward tier.

This release follows the initial public announcement and trailer debut on April 30, 2026 [2]. The update focuses on blending the resolution of high-stakes storytelling with the competitive refresh of the player-versus-player environment [1], [2].

“Update 7.9 concludes the Legacy of the Sith storyline.”

The conclusion of the Legacy of the Sith saga signifies the end of a major narrative chapter for Star Wars: The Old Republic. By pairing a story finale with a new PvP season and market items, BioWare is attempting to maintain player retention through both emotional closure and new mechanical incentives.
