Star Wars: The Old Republic Gets Updated With Nightmare Mode

BioWare and EA Games have released a new trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic to commemorate the game's Operation Nightmare update. It's very Cthulhu Mythos-esque and reminds me a quite a bit of The Secret World, but with a nice Star Wars flavor to the proceedings.

The update adds a key focus to guilds, with guild challenges and other features to get everyone playing cooperatively, along with some of the most difficult raid bosses to grace the game to date. Additionally, there are new achievements and a new Kell Dragon equipment tier.

Here's what's in store with the Nightmare Mode Operation: Terror From Beyond:

The fight to seize control of the Gree Hypergate will leave you gasping for breath as you battle the five main bosses, now amped up to challenge even the most skilled group of players!

Conquer these nightmarish enemies for a chance to earn a brand new set of Kell Dragon gear, the most powerful PvE gear available, as well as an exclusive “Helix Hyperpod” Vehicle!

Further details about the update can be found at the game's official blog.
