What is #FallenEmpire?

At the previous Cantina Tour (developer meet-ups with players, where they show sneak peeks at new game content) in Anaheim, California, the developers sent out flash drives with the above image. The only other two pieces of information we were given with were the hashtag FallenEmpire and the date June 15th.

Suspiciously, June 15th is the date of EA's big press conference at E3, a huge annual convention where companies announce new games. SWTOR has not been featured at the convention since 2012, so whatever Fallen Empire is, it has to be big if it's going to be featured at the press conference.

So what do you think Fallen Empire is?

I think it is the next Expansion or Update 3.4 that has more story like Update 3.2 did.

I'm thinking an expansion as well. They've been suspiciously quiet on content post 3.3, so it might be bigger than just one expansion, maybe a bunch of mini updates leading to an expansion? Kind of like the KOTOR-themed flashpoints in the Forged Alliances arc they added last year.
 
Read this on another site:

According to the EA press release released today, SWTOR’s next expansion will be called Knights of the Fallen Empire with more details to be revealed on monday.

The E3 presentation will start on 1 PM PDT on Monday June 15.
  • Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ – The largest story-driven expansion to date, Knights of the Fallen Empire, marks a renewed focus on cinematic storytelling in Star Wars: The Old Republic. The expansion will deliver on the hallmarks of what makes a great BioWare™ game: new worlds to explore, new companions to recruit, and a dynamic story that players will be able to shape based on the choices they make.

Cast of Characters

ARCANN
The Dark Prince.
"Destiny is a lie."
Destiny is a lie. Fate is the falsest of hopes. I am beyond prophecy. I forge my own path by making the difficult choices. Now, it is your turn.

I am not without mercy. Surrender and you may live. Stand against me, and I will turn you into a monument for fools who believe their victory is preordained. Choose wisely.


VALKORION
The Immortal Emperor.
"I can make you powerful beyond reason…if you will only kneel."
Everything until now has been the means to an end. I forged the Empire of Zakuul to surmount all of my previous works. It will span eternity.

Do not presume there are limits to my power. The Eternal Throne commands a fleet that will reshape the galaxy into any image I choose. Whatever you hope to achieve by opposing me, know that you will never succeed.


LANA BENIKO
The Dark Advisor.
"I deemed you a worthy ally once. I hope I wasn't wrong."
The Sith Empire and Galactic Republic have fallen. The Jedi and Sith have retreated to their temples. No one remains to stand between the Eternal Throne and the utter destruction of all we hold dear.

It has to be you. Find the strength within yourself to persevere and sacrifice your own needs for those of the galaxy. You're our last hope.


VAYLIN
The Remorseless Prodigy.
"Rules are for people who lack the creativity to break them."
I have always been held back. All my life, my power has been restrained for fear of the chaos and bloodshed that I might inflict on a whim.

But our whims represent our truest selves. And now that my power is fully my own, I intend to be very truthful.


KOTH VORTENA
The Exiled General.
"We're going to win this thing. I’m telling you, its destiny."
I grew up on Zakuul, served in the military. I know its potential for greatness, but all I see is the bleak reality of what it's become.

Someone has to stand up to tyranny, right here and now. To make it clear that we reject this twisted vision for the galaxy. Someone has to own up to their destiny and fight.


SENYA
The Vengeful Enforcer.
"Even Emperors must answer to the law."
I have served with honor. I have upheld the law and pursued offenders to the far corners of the galaxy. And I have lost everyone I ever held close.

The worst among us now rule over us. Their laws will never bring justice to the monsters who betray our ideals and murder our children. But I will.


HK-55
The Loyal Bodyguard.
"Declaration: Meatbag defense protocols engaged."
Lament: I am programmed for your maximum protection, but hostile meatbags continually demand I reactivate my termination subroutines.

Reassurance: I have no particular wish to harm the stupid meatbags. I was merely designed to be especially good at it.

Affirmation: Anything that threatens you will wish it had never existed, master.
