BioWare released a brand new video for Star Wars: The Old Republic, this time focusing on the upcoming Game Update 1.3, which is dubbed “Allies.”

Star Wars: The Old Republic is quite an impressive game but, despite the fact that BioWare is trying to hype it up by offering free weekends of play time for those who’ve yet to experience it, players are less and less interested in the online game.

BioWare isn’t giving up, however, and it continues to add quite a lot of features with its ongoing updates for the game.

We’ve already seen patch 1.1, aka Rise of the Rakghouls, introduce new content, while update 1.2, called Legacy, added new mechanics.

With the upcoming patch 1.3, dubbed Allies, BioWare is making it much easier to find players with which you can attempt Flashpoints or Operations, while enabling the much-awaited Player Transfer feature.
