New ‘The Acolyte’ items in SWTOR in Update 7.5! Dark Harbinger’s Armor Set, Serpent’s Tongue Vibroblade, Wookiee Jedi inspired Hairstyle, Fallen Master Beard, Refined Mentor Armor and Lightsabers, Metallic Dyes

To celebrate the debut of The Acolyte, the developers collaborated with Lucasfilm Games to build a set of items inspired by The Acolyte. With Game Update 7.5 “Desperate Defiance”, the following will be available on the Cartel Market starting May 29, 2024:

I made a whole Twitter thread on different ways the hair can look with the hood:

The new #SWTOR 'Dark Harbinger' set is really special because it allows you to "keep" your hair under the hood for the first time.

However, it does not change your hair in anyway – so if you have "big hair" it will clip through. There's lots of hairstyles that work well though. pic.twitter.com/Ya6to0T2fl

• Dark Harbinger Bracers
• Dark Harbinger Chestpiece
• Dark Harbinger Gloves
• Dark Harbinger Hood
• Dark Harbinger Hood (Hair Enabled)
• Dark Harbinger Pants

A look behind the scenes of making the Dark Harbinger Armor Set:

It is important to remember that our stories are set thousands of years before the events of The Acolyte. Our talented artists and designers worked with Lucasfilm to create iconic items that find a balance between the striking items seen in the recent trailers and also stay true to the aesthetics of The Old Republic.

When creating items inspired-by a new series, we always start with a high quality reference, and then get right to building a high-res model to bring our ideas to life.

From there, we determine what this armor would look like on a player model and add the necessary textures and materials to bring it to life.

Once we align on the overall direction, several more passes through the art, design, sound, and QV teams get us to a fully functional Dark Harbinger armor set in-game!

Serpent’s Tongue Vibroblade

Appearance Options: Loyal Adherent Hairstyles and Beard Bundle

Refined Mentor Armor

Inspired by the High Republic

The High Republic has Jedi in many different costumes.

The closest I think is this Avar Kriss’s outfit.

New Cartel Customization: Fallen Master Beard

A new character customization is being added, inspired by Baylan Skoll from Ahsoka.

It sounds like it might be two customizations with the hair attached.
