Bioware announced a limited time promotion allowing you to unlock and play the first two SWTOR Expansions – Rise of the Hutt Cartel and Shadow of Revan for free!
Please, consider white-listing VULKK.com to help and support the site. Thank you!)
Similar to same time last year, the first two digital expansions to Star Wars: The Old Republic – Rise of the Hutt Cartel and Shadow of Revan are currently available for free. The promotion is active until November 2, 2018 at 6:59AM GMT.
To celebrate the anniversary of Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR), BioWare is giving all SWTOR players a chance to play all the way up to level 60 for free by activating the special promo code “REVANSFATE” at swtor.com after you have logged in to your account.
Here is what you should do:
Log in to your account at swtor.com and go to www.swtor.com/redeem-code.
Click on “Redeem Your Code Now” button to open the code redemption page. Enter the code “REVANSFATE” (without the quotes) in the empty field and click the button to continue.
Now all of your existing and future characters on all servers will be able to play from level 1 to level 60 for free. If you do not subscribe, you will still experience all other limitations of the F2P model of SWTOR, but you will get access to the storyline that takes you through Makeb, Rishi and Yavin 4. If you activate the code as described above, you will keep access to the story expansions even after the promotion expires, Musco confirmed for me.
If you have been an active subscriber for even a month in the past two or so years, you have already unlocked these expansions forever.
This promotion is also related to the mobile game Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. I am not playing and covering it, so all I can do is paste for you the original announcement from BioWare:
The Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ team is excited to celebrate the release of classic KOTOR characters in the acclaimed Star Wars™ mobile game – Star Wars™: Galaxy of Heroes. In Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, players can unlock and play as beloved KOTOR companions, including the devoted Bastila Shan, the cynical Jolee Bindo and now the Savior of the Republic… Jedi Knight Revan!
Collect and battle your favorite Old Republic heroes to unlock Jedi Knight Revan in the new ‘Legend of the Old Republic’ event, live October 18 – 25, 2018!

About Rise of the Hutt Cartel Digital Expansion
Rise of the Hutt Cartel was the first expansion to Star Wars: The Old Republic. It was originally designed to be free content update, but as the game moved to a Free-to-play model, plans changed and this was released as a digital expansion.
In the new storyline the conflict between the Sith Empire and the Republic expands to a new world for SWTOR – Makeb. You will experience two different narratives, based on your faction. Makeb also contains tons of side and optional activities, Daily missions, the introduction of the microbinoculars and seeker droid features with their origins and more.
For purchasing Rise of the Hutt Cartel you can now level up to level 55.
About Shadow of Revan Digital Expansion
The second story expansion takes you through two new to the game worlds. Rishi is a lesser-known planet filled with interesting characters and opportunities. Yavin 4 is one of the most legendary worlds in the Star Wars canon and legends.
Revan is one of the most iconic characters. This is not hist first appearance in SWTOR, but sure is the most dramatic. Unlike his previous episodic appearances, in Shadow of Revan you get to not only meet him, but… well… I wont spoil it for those of you who have never played the story.
By purchasing this expansion, you get to level up from level 56 to 60.
If you want to fill the blanks in your knowledge about Revan’s past as a Jedi and Sith, check out my SWTOR Datacrons video series (starting from part 69 – the Mandalorian Wars).
