Introducing The Sarlacc Enforcer

Star Wars: The Old Republic News, Interviews, Media & Podcast

The developers at BioWare and LucasArts apparently can only count to eight, so we were alerted that Star Wars: The Old Republic indeed has one more class to reveal:

Think you've seen all the playable classes in Star Wars: The Old Republic? Think again! We've saved the best for last Now you can realize your fantasy of playing as a Sarlacc Enforcer in Star Wars: The Old Republic

For thousands of years, the brave souls who answer to the name Sarlacc have been the ultimate authority on final judgment in the galaxy. A perfect combination of ruthless efficiency and calculated precision, the Sarlacc Enforcers make sure the galaxy's trash doesn't have a chance to pile up.

Access the latest HoloNet entry now to see a full profile of the deadly Sarlacc Enforcer, including combat footage of the Sarlaccs in action

The Aurebesh translations on this entry are:

On looking at the pics and videos of the Sarlacc Enforcer, I'm wondering if BioWare actually hid some serious hints in there. Like the second video of the Sarlacc Enforcer shows a character in an armor I've never seen. A couple of the concept arts (the ones without guns and armor) show a sarlacc in a cave, and the full reach of the tentacles, which is quite wide. Maybe I've over-analyzing an April Fool's Joke, but I swear I see some stuff we haven't seen before. That dude in Video 2 didn't have his elaborate armor made just for this joke, I would hope.

I agree. It also seems like the run animation is much more refined. It looks incredibly natural, I think. Something like that they wouldn't just make for an April Fools joke. At least, I would hope not.

I agree with you, the armor is probably a high end set or pieces of various sets. I think the character has ammo bandoliers over the shoulders. It could be a trooper or bounty hunter, since smuggler and Imperial agent concept art shows them with light armor, while this one in the video looks like heavy armor.

This may be an April's Fools joke, but especially the last little video made me feel like: Okay, these guys know what starwars is about. Java's going "WTF" at anything strange, planets blowing up. Even their comedy is typically "star wars" to my opinion. And that is difficult to capture! Hell yes, I enjoyed this april's fools joke.

There are rumors of a "digestive system" and a "grabby tendril" for class based paths. It's a tough call between this and sith ninja. Maybe they will unveil bounty hunter pawn shop owner or smuggler topless carwas owner next!

LOL! i laughed very hard at this. In the picture of the Sarlaac holding three blasters, i thought the graphics seem to be a lot nicer these days. And more polished.
