BioWare turned heads at E3 with yet another gorgeous trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Its new expansion, Knights of the Fallen Empire, introduced us to a pair of force-sensitive brothers, one dressed in black, the other in white, who lead a powerful new faction in galactic battles.

After watching the trailer on repeat a few times, we chatted with BioWare about how this new expansion will play, how much it costs, and whether we can play it with friends. These are the 11 things you need to know before jumping back into BioWare’s Star Wars MMO.

1. Knights of the Fallen Empire is only for subscribers.
You must be a subscriber to Star Wars: The Old Republic to access the new expansion. If you subscribe early, you’ll gain early access to Knights of the Fallen Empire as well as in-game bonuses, including a new companion and vehicle. BioWare isn’t making this expansion accessible any other way — not even as a standalone product. There’s a good reason for that…

2. It’s free for subscribers.
BioWare is giving every subscriber access to the next expansion — as well as every other one. Shadow of Revan, Rise of the Hutt Cartel, and the rest of SWTOR’s expansion packs come with Knights of the Fallen Empire. So, newcomers could join in on launch day, subscribe, and get access to everything.
