PAX: Live From Star Wars Games Revealed

Mysteries of the Knights of the Old Republic video footage here. The most important reveal (aside from Revan being rebuilt & HK-47) was one video that showed something very akin to 'PvPvE.' We're aren't 100% solid on calling it that, but this is what happened: a high level Republic group of 4 go into an instance, fight a huge robot boss ("the size of Ragnaros"), and then they face 4 Sith player characters running towards each other but before they battled, the video ends. We are not sure if any of the people behind the Sith players were companions.







Recap of our live blogging after the jump.
Lining up to get in!





We're getting our usual live blog going a few hours early, so feel free to join us at staring at the PAX logo until 5PM PDT / 8PM EDT. If we manage to have our own video feed available, then you'll find it here as well as text and images from the presentation. Don't forget our meet up is tonight at 8PM PDT at Fox Sports Grill, and all video will be on our YouTube channel.
