Star Wars: The Old Republic Rise of the Hutt Cartel expansion releasing April 14

Star Wars: The Old Republic Rise of the Hutt Cartel

BioWare has kicked off the week of GDC announcements and reveals with a release date announcement for Star Wars: The Old Republic's first expansion, Rise of the Hutt Cartel. Defenders of a galaxy far, far away can take up arms against fat space-slugs on April 14.

The expansion is still available for pre-order at $10 for subscribers and $20 for non-paying players, but the window for obtaining early access has already passed into the Force. Personally, I'm looking forward to experiencing more of BioWare's excellently voiced quest dialogue while tinkering with new abilities on my hate-fueled Marauder.
