Mobile game Galaxy of Heroes will see its Sith roster reworked in an upcoming update.

The update was planned for deployment today, but issues might cause it to be delayed up to one day. Despite this possible problem, community manager Jesse Anderson was able to post the details on the rework. I’ve shared the full details at the end of this post.

Also starting this week is the Lords of Hunger event, which will begin Thursday, February 16. The primary rewards for said event will be Darth Nihilus, a character originally from Knights of the Old Republic II, and two other characters to-be-announced. The event will be re-run three more times throughout the rest of the month.

Note that while Darth Nihilus is arriving to Galaxy of Heroes, the character still isn’t technically a part of the new Star Wars canon. Lucasfilm creative exec Pablo Hidalgo mentioned on Twitter in November 2015 that Galaxy of Heroes is a “do what ya want kind of game” instead of one that adheres to official canon.

Capital Games also announced today that Omega Battles: Coruscant will run March 4-5 and 18-19. In addition, an Omega Battles: Empire will run March 5-6 and 19-20. Finally, a Palpatine Event will run March 9-15.
