According to Sean Dahlberg, tomorrow (Friday) we will be seeing the next issue of Blood of the Empire. Here is what he has to say:

"Hey everyone, we're quickly approaching E3 Expo 2010! In fact, we have just about a week and a half until we're there! We have some great things we'll be sharing with you throughout the week and the team is working to make sure that everyone has a great experience (those who are attending E3 and those who will be following us here from the web that couldn't be there).

This week's update, though, will Blood of the Empire #4 which we will be publishing at our normal time tomorrow morning.

Just wanted to give all of you a head's up."

So by the looks of things we will be seeing slow updates till E3, but it's right around the corner!

IGN has got an exclusive that gives us a sneak peak at the companion system and what we can expect from it. The details aren't all there yet, but from what we can tell it's going to be based very similarly to what we've seen in Dragon Age: Origins.

The player will have the ability to affect their standing with the companion and Bioware aims to make this a robust system which they call "Affection". We'll see what becomes of this, personally i hope to see it evolve past Dragon Age core components as at it's core was gifts which could alleviate any choices you made that affected your companion in a negative light essentially throwing out consequence.

Also this week we get a glimpse at a short video showing off some of the Sith Warrior! The combat is fast paced, we even see a vehicle!

Only time will tell, but enjoy the sneak peak!
