'Star Wars: The Old Republic' DLC news: 'Knights of the Eternal Throne' expansion gets action-packed trailer

It's been five years since the launch of Bioware's "Star Wars: The Old Republic," and the developers are planning something special for its fifth anniversary. A new cinematic trailer has just launched for the upcoming downloadable content (DLC), "Knights of the Eternal Throne."

The new trailer seems to focus on another family-themed storyline as a mother tries to save her Force-sensitive daughter from a clan that seems to bring her closer to the Dark Side. According to Gear Nuke, the official description of the game is as follows:

"Be the Outlander and command a team of hand-picked allies as you face one of the most dangerous families in 'Star Wars.' Mother against daughter. Sister against brother. It's a fight for control of the throne. You decide who will live, who will die and who will rule the galaxy. Fight to influence the galaxy for the light or dark side of the Force."

2015 saw the arrival of another DLC by the name of "Knights of the Fallen Empire" where twin brothers found themselves on opposite sides of the Force. The theme "family" has always been prevalent in the "Star Wars" movies, and it looks like the games have been following suit.

The list of the new expansion's chapters have also been leaked. These are: (1) Wrath and Run;(2) Run for the Shadows; (3) Dark Reunions; (4) Where Dreams Die; (5) Ascension; (6) The Dragon's Maw; (7) Into the Void; (8) End Times; and (9) The Eternal Throne.

Fans will also be happy to know that the DLC will be coming out free for all premium players, so gamers can expect a lot of "Star Wars" by the time the holidays roll in, what with the "Rogue One" movie and the "Star Wars Battlefront: Scarif" DLC coming out.

"Star Wars: The Old Republic's" "Knights of the Eternal Throne" DLC will be available on Dec. 2.
