SWTOR introduces romantic date night missions with update 7.4.1
03/14/2024 - In a recently announced update for "Star Wars: The Old Republic", players will have the opportunity to build a deeper bond with their companions through date night missions. This new feature, which will be introduced with Game Update 7.4.1, offers weekly repeatable missions that allow characters to spend personal time with their love interests.
With the upcoming update 7.4.1 for "Star Wars: The Old Republic" (SWTOR), the development team is introducing an innovative feature that takes the gaming experience to a new level: Date Night Missions for companions. These missions are designed to allow players to have personal interactions with their love interests in-game. The announcement was made by Ashley Ruhl and Caitlin Sullivan Kelly, two leaders behind the SWTOR narrative, who presented the details in a livestream.
These unique, weekly repeatable missions will be characterized by fully voiced, cinematic scenes tailored specifically to each partner's preferences - from sharing a drink at the cantina to a strategic game of Dejarik or even a sparring match. At the launch of the Date Night feature in Update 7.4.1, four companions will be made available, including SIS Agent Theron Shan, Sith Lady Lana Beniko, Zakuulan Captain Koth Vortena, and former Eternal Emperor Arcann. Each of these characters offers a scene that reflects their individual personality and relationship to the player.
The date night missions are available to players who have formed a romantic relationship with these characters and whose companions are currently present in the story. Although only four companions are part of the date night feature at launch, the development team plans to add new missions on a regular basis. The goal is to release 1-2 Date Night missions alongside the Galactic Seasons to ultimately offer a unique and high-quality scene for each companion.
The missions will not only offer deeper character bonding and development, but also special rewards such as unique titles and decorations that reflect the special moments with the companions.
