SWGOH news: kit-reveal

Asked directly whether new Coliseum bosses are coming, MeatheadMilitia gave a one-word confirmation: yes. No timing or details were provided beyond the confirmation that additional bosses are planned for the Coliseum game mode.

Four new characters are previewed: R5-D4, Zeb Orrelios (New Republic Pilot), Captain Carson Teva, and Snowtrooper Commander. Kit details for each, including abilities, synergies, and unique mechanics, are provided.

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is receiving a major visual and functional refresh including updates to the Cantina interface, campaign restructuring with new battles and rewards, farming node adjustments, and economy changes. Several characters are also becoming farmable for the first time.

A player asked MeatheadMilitia to poke the team about a rumored Cobb Vanth kit reveal. MeatheadMilitia replied with the request acknowledged in the conversation.

MeatheadMilitia closed out the day by linking the official Cobb Vanth kit reveal on the EA forums SWGOH Game Info Hub. The link points to the standard kit reveal blog format used for new character announcements.

MeatheadMilitia shared the official EA forums link to the Cobb Vanth kit reveal. The post on the SWGOH game info hub contains the full ability and stat breakdown for the upcoming character.

Asked whether he created the Cobb Vanth kit because the reveal post uses first-person language, MeatheadMilitia replied that the "I" in the reveal is the in-house designer speaking, not him. He confirms he was not the kit designer.

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes unveiled Cobb Vanth, a Light Side leader designed to unite Jawas, Tuskens, and Constables. His kit features unique abilities like 'High Noons' with an 'Execution' buff and 'The Marshal' unique that provides faction-specific benefits and punishes certain enemy types.

MeatheadMilitia said traditional forum kit reveal posts for Cobb Vanth and Satele Shan are on hold pending art approval. He may consider posting dev insights and FAQs separately if art approval keeps dragging, but no commitment was made.

MeatheadMilitia confirmed the upcoming game update is on track to deploy on time. Contents will be disclosed after the patch goes out, not before. A push notification players received was tied to this same update.
