BioWare has released a new trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic featuring an upgraded version of everyone’s favorite assassin droid HK-47. Under the new name HK-51, he will be made available as a sixth companion character at some point.

HK-51 is an upgraded version of Darth Revan’s faithful companion HK-47, the most deadly assassin droid in the galaxy. Many thought that these models were buried forever, but it appears that someone has found them, and now they’re up for grabs.

BioWare is remaining tight lipped about when HK-51 will make an appearance, simply teasing us with “coming soon.” You can check out the trailer below.
