'Star Wars: The Old Republic' to receive Rise of the Rakghouls update

Star Wars: The Old Republic will receive its first content update next week.
'Rise of the Rakghouls', or version 1.1, will introduce new higher level group content, game features, balancing and bug fixes on January 17.
New Flashpoint 'Kaon Under Siege' will see level 50 characters race to planet Kaon and take care of the Rakghouls outbreak.
Meanwhile 'Karagga's Palace' is a continuation of the game's second launch Operation, and sees teams of eight or 16 face Karagga and the Hutt Cartel.
"A month ago when we launched the Early Game Access programme for Star Wars: The Old Republic, we promised our fans that this would just be the beginning of our journey together," said BioWare general manager Dr. Greg Zeschuk.
"'Rise of the Rakghouls' adds a lot of the things our community has been asking for - additional higher level group content, features like anti-aliasing, PvP bracketing and more."
He continued: "In the future, game updates will be even more substantial, as we promise to continue to not only add to The Old Republic, but to also improve and refine the experience with the full Legacy System and new Guild features."
BioWare has promised more updates throughout the year, with the next significant piece of content arriving in March.
Star Wars: The Old Republic launched in December.
