Friday Update Preview: Playable Species Confirmed

Although Darth Hater's staff heard whispers of a Star Wars: The Old Republic presentation during PAX East revealing playable species, an industrious forum user snooped around the official website and discovered a hidden image that is potentially a preview of this Friday's update.

More after the jump.


What we see here is a playable Gungan Imperial Agent teaming up with a Gran Bounty Hunter. They are in the process of ambushing a Republic group consisting of a Human Jedi Knight and a Mon Calamari Smuggler. This image also confirms boomers as ranged weapon for the Imperial Agent class, and perhaps there might be a racial bonus for Gungans to increase the range distance or AOE of boomers.

Although the Gungan shown appears to be of the Otalla race, we can reasonably speculate that the Ankura race might be an option for players to customize their character to a more beefier appearance. Since the Gran's back is to us, we cannot determine if he/she has three breasts.
