Serving as a loose prequel to the belovedKnights of The Old Republic,The Old Republicis a fully-fledged MMO with a beautiful,fleshed-out world, aunique and expansive class system, and a large plotline full of decisions that affect it. From the tutorial, fans are engaged in what can end up being an experience they won’t soon forget. The game currently features six major expansions. These serve to expand the plot and keep the game going.
6Knights Of The Eternal Throne
Despite being a decent expansion,Knights of The Eternal Thronepales in comparison to the otherThe Old Republicexpansions. The expansion has a decent enough plotline, one that continues the story of the Outlander and is somewhat essential to understanding the greater scheme of things.

Despite this, the expansion featured just nine chapters, all of which felt rushed, a semi-engaging plotline, and all the content it did feature was generally accepted among fans as being okay at best. Those looking to make the most out ofKnights of The Eternal Throne should consider playing as a Jedi.
5Legacy Of The Sith
Legacy of The Sithis the latestThe Old Republicexpansion and is in top contention to be one of the most disappointing expansions the MMORPG has released. After years of waiting, fans got an expansion that gives them two hours of content at most. Within those two hours, barely anything stands out.
The story here is middling, the content is minimal, and the romance options are subpar. All in all,Legacy of The Sithis an expansion only the most dedicated fans can get some contentment out of.
4Knights Of The Fallen Empire
Knights of The Fallen Empireplays more like a standalone game than an MMO expansion, and that is precisely what sets it back. The expansion was a major release for the game and one that introduced many changes moving forward.

While as a whole it is considered to be a decent release, fans had many gripes with it. Firstly, the storytelling here is all over the place, with some chapters being fun and others being a drag. It also seems to benefit Force users the most, so players who are not Sith or Jedi will probably struggle here quite a bit. As a whole,Knights of The Fallen Empiredoes not seem like an expansion befitting an expansive MMO title.
3Rise Of The Hutt Cartel
Rise of The Hutt Cartelis a well-received expansion ofThe Old Republic.This expansionrevolves around the Hutt Carteland is set on the gorgeous planet of Makeb. Both the Republic and Sith Empire set their sights on acquiring one of the planet’s valuable resources. The setting is quite cramped, so players can expect a lot of frantic action.
While the plot here is not exactly outstanding, the views Makeb presents to players more than make up for it. Overall,Rise of The Hutt Cartelis arguably the game’s greatest-looking expansion and one that players who love combat will enjoy no matter how many times they revisit it.
2Onslaught
Onslaughtwas the breath of fresh air many fans were looking for. The game went back to its roots. Featuring a simple yet engaging Republic vs. Imperials storyline and full of characters and playing options that fans enjoyed,Onslaughtis widely considered to be one of the best expansionsThe Old Republiccurrently offers.
Beyond all this, the expansion also featured a gorgeous setting and tons of action. While the back-to-basics approach and a semi-impactful plotline might be a deal breaker for some,Onslaughtwas, as a whole, just the expansion the game needed. All in all,Onslaughtis an expansion appreciated by old and new fans alike.Every new player ofThe Old Republicshould seek to play through this expansion at least once.
1Shadow Of Revan
Shadow of Revanexpansion features everything fans expect from a goodThe Old Republicexpansion. Excellent world-building? Check. Engaging main and side characters? Check. An epic story that unfolds slowly and has an action-packed climax? Check. The unique and impactful final boss battle at the end is noteworthy enough on its own.
The story herecenters around Revan, a character thatKnights of the Old Republicfans will remember well. It is set on the planet of Rishi, a planet full of peril and pirates, with tensions running high throughout the duration of this expansion. Everything from its cutscenes to its story to the atmosphere and enemies is near impeccable. All in all,Shadow of Revanis tough to beat when it comes to the best expansions forStar Wars: The Old Republic.
