The Menagerie Awakens

Across workshops and forgotten vaults, old possibilities stir again—and the galaxy has become larger, stranger, and far more dangerous.

From the Bio-Engineer journals

One hundred and twenty new paths to life

The workbenches of Master Bio-Engineers are alive with unfamiliar calls. One hundred and twenty additional creature schematics have joined the catalogue, bringing its living bestiary to 190 recipes—including the mighty Krayt Dragon.

Masters returning from old expeditions receive the knowledge when they enter the galaxy, while newly trained Masters learn it at once. The creatures are no longer merely entries in a dusty archive: their deeds, control devices, and living forms are all connected and ready for the hands of skilled geneticists.

Dispatches from the frontier

The road beyond Lok grew darker

The Kimogila Cave was only the first warning. Veteran explorers report that dungeon defenders across the galaxy now fight with far greater strength, while rare spoils can be found among their hoards. Close-quarters fighters have also regained their bite against rival players, and Torso Shot now lands its intended combat effect with exceptional reliability in PvP.

01

Deeper dungeons

Dungeon enemies have been reinforced for high-level groups, with formidable defenses, heavy armor, and dangerous damage.

02

Rarer spoils

Twenty families of exceptional dungeon loot can now appear without displacing established or guaranteed rewards.

03

Melee parity

Melee combat retains far more of its power in PvP, matching the battlefield presence already enjoyed by Jedi weapons.

Arsenal recovered

Every weapon has its place

The expanded melee and ranged weapon catalogue is now complete at the crafting table. Previously hidden recipes have been restored to the schematic roster, and the last missing visual resources for the new arsenal have reached the launcher.

The MagnaGuard Electrostaff now strikes with Heavy armor piercing—including staffs already carried by players—while preserving each weapon's crafted qualities, condition, and name.

Before you return

Close the game and run Scan/Update.

The newest creatures, rewards, and weapon appearances require the latest launcher files.
