It was a rumor earlier in the day, but the development team at BioWare working on Star Wars: The Old Republic is now officially announcing that it will be adding the Cathar as a playable race for the MMO in the upcoming game update, 2.1.

There are no more details at the moment, but the choice will probably only be available at first to those who are paying to play The Old Republic.

BioWare is not saying what racial abilities the Cathar will have or how they will influence the conflict between the Jedi and the Sith.

Game update 2.1 for Star Wars: The Old Republic is also set to add more customization options for all player characters.

The patch currently lacks a launch window, but players should expect it before the end of May.
