After the first footage of the Sith Warrior class shown at Gamescom we get the full deal from the official SWTOR site. The class gets its HoloNet page with short videos and a description. There are some wallpapers as well that you can view in our gallery bellow. The official description of the class goes like this:
An unstoppable force of darkness, the Sith Warrior is entrusted with the task of destroying the Empire’s enemies and enforcing Sith domination across the galaxy. The Warrior channels the destructive emotions of fear, anger, and hatred to purge weakness from body and mind and become a being of pure, brutal efficiency.
After breathtaking video, BioWare has for the first time shown gameplay demo with the Bounty Hunter, Sith, and Smuggler classes. More information about Star Wars: The Old Republic from E3 expo 2009 coming soon. In the meantime take a look at several new screenshots.
All the theories and predictions that the next class to be revealed is going to be the smuggler were dead wrong. The class to emerge from the revolution torn world of Ord Mantell is none other than the Republic Trooper. Now remember kids, this is not your Imperial trooper clone. This is thousands of years before Darth Vader’s Storm Troopers. They might look alike but they are the good guys – defending the Republic alongside the Jedi. The official announcement reads as follows:
We are excited to reveal the next playable character class in Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ – the Trooper!
The Trooper is an elite combat specialist in the Republic military armed with heavy blaster rifles and nearly impenetrable armor designed by the military’s top engineers. Trained to beat almost any odds, the Trooper battles deep behind enemy lines to carry out precise, hard hitting strikes against the enemy, with a barrage of blaster-fire and a few carefully aimed firebombs. Even Sith Lords are wise to think twice before engaging in combat with the Trooper—this is what it means to be one of the Republic’s finest.
