Fresh off the addition of Darth Revan to Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes, the fans are about to get another treat in the coming weeks. EA SWGoH GameChanger Gaming-fans.com has been granted the exclusive information on the introduction of six new characters to the game which we expect to mirror the release of the Phoenix Squadron in March and April 2017. That release cadence featured six characters in six weeks before the addition of Grand Admiral Thrawn in mid-June 2017. Just like that sequence, this character release schedule will feature another Star Wars cartoon series as the focus. Details on a possible Legendary character are being looked into as our Staff Writer Sparrow is looking to confirm after helping us gather the information below. Graphics are in the works and should be available from the team at CG as early as tomorrow.

The six characters will all be included in the new “Colossus” faction include the following: R1-J5 “Bucket,” Kazuda Xiono, Neeku Vozo, Tam Ryvora, Jarek Yeager and Torra Doza. Only two – Kaz and Yeager – will be members of the Resistance faction given the storyline of the cartoon series. The first of these characters should hit the game in a Marquee Event later this week.
