All players who 7-starred Hunter (Mercenary) will receive the Hunter (Mercenary) Datacron in a future update. Those who already earned the Datacron will receive a second copy.

The team is investigating the Kessel Run issue. Players affected will receive missed rewards and additional compensation for the inconvenience.

Today's update added Saw Gerrera to Cantina Holotable Battle 4-F and fixed the "Go" button for Hunter's Character Quest. Boss Nass is now an Accelerated Character. Galactic Legend Ahsoka Tier 1 was fixed, and a bug with summoned ships in the Corellia space mission was resolved. Details for Episode 2 - Era of the Cavalry Free Track and Episode Pass rewards were also released.

Capital Games is aware that some players are experiencing an infinite loading screen when attempting to access the Galactic Legend Ahsoka Tano event. They have identified the issue and plan to implement a fix in the next game release, targeted for next week.

This update introduces the February event calendar, new kits for Jocasta Nu and Hunter, and makes General Syndulla's shards farmable. It includes fixes for several bugs, such as Grand Inquisitor's instant defeat ability in Territory Wars and TIE Dagger's self-damage. Known issues for Hunter and the new Datacron are also noted.

A new Light Side Support character, Hunter (Mercenary), is introduced with a Marquee event on February 11. He supports the Bad Batch and Mercenary factions by Marking enemies, which enables various team benefits, cooldown reductions, and debuffs on opponents. His kit focuses on synergizing with Attackers and building stacks to empower his special abilities, especially "This Will Hurt."

Jocasta Nu, a new Galactic Republic Jedi Attacker, is revealed as a Conquest lifter. She transforms into Jocasta Nu (Rifle) and features a new Jedi Vanguard faction tag, along with unique abilities like a rifle throw for a last-ditch effort and setting enemy health to 65.

Players who donated to the Extra Life Charity fundraiser will now find their incentives delivered to their in-game inbox. Capital Games thanked the community for a successful drive.

Capital Games is investigating an issue where two specific store packages are incorrectly granting Crystals instead of their advertised contents. The affected packages are the Supreme Energy Bundle and Signal Data Mastery II. Further updates will be provided.

A hotfix was released on January 23, 2025, to address an issue where Omega (Fugitive) and Batcher were not being defeated when starting a second battle Captive and without allies, which was contrary to their intended mechanics. The fix adds a check at the start of battle to prevent this.

This update introduces Batcher's kit and makes Huyang farmable from Light Side 3-F Hard. STAP is now an accelerated character. Adjustments were made to the Naboo Raid, and several bug fixes were implemented, including one for GL Ahsoka's Defiant Resolve.

Batcher, a new Bad Batch character, is revealed with abilities focused on debuffs, offense buffs for her allies, and ignoring enemy taunts and stealth. She will be available via a Marquee Event starting January 28, 2025.

A hotfix is deploying to address an issue with the Tier 1 Omega Marquee Quest. Players who were previously stuck on this tier should no longer experience the problem after the server release.

An interaction between Darth Nihilus and Omega (Fugitive) has been reported by players. The development team will investigate this interaction.

Capital Games has posted a two-question player survey. The survey asks about desired future factions and roles for new characters. Player input is requested to help guide future character development.

A hotfix will be implemented to address three issues: the Cad Bane character quest, missing Jango Fett art on a Geonosis Dark Side node, and incorrect milestones for the first four Episode Track milestones.

Capital Games acknowledges an issue with the first four milestone track point requirements. All level 85 players will receive Episode Points in a future server push to compensate for this.

Adjustments have been made to the Naboo Raid. The Command Droid's special ability now starts on cooldown, with its cooldown reduced to 2 turns. The Command Droid can no longer gain bonus turns from the Charged modifier, and a status effect now tracks its special ability cooldown.

This update introduces the kit for Omega (Fugitive) and information on the Era of the Cavalry. Padawan Sabine's shards are now farmable from Dark Side 6-E Hard. Several bug fixes were implemented, and two known issues with Hondo and Omega's leader ability were noted for a future fix.

A new Omega (Fugitive) unit is announced for Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, available via Marquee on January 14. This Light Side Support and Leader character introduces new Bad Batch squad mechanics including Captive and Rescue. Her kit focuses on timing and strategic ability use to maximize benefits.
