BioWare has just released a brand new video with the upcoming Rise of the Hutt Cartel DLC for Star Wars: The Old Republic, going behind the scenes of the expansion's creation process and showing just what the add-on includes.

Star Wars: The Old Republic came out over a year ago and, after trying to succeed by charging monthly subscriptions, it eventually became free-to-play last fall.

Now, the online game will receive its first full-fledged expansion this spring, in the form of the Rise of the Hutt Cartel DLC.

We’ve already heard a few details about it, but now a special making of video has appeared, showing a behind-the-scenes look at how the expansion came to be.

The Rise of the Hutt Cartel DLC will bring new story content, a brand new planet called Makeb, and raises the level cap to 55.

The expansion will cost $19.99/€19.99 for regular Star Wars: The Old Republic players, while subscribers can get it for $9.99/€9.99.
