After some time off from new characters we’re ready to see the Road Ahead post from last week start to unfold. As part of the EA GameChangers program for SWGoH (rumors of our deaths have been greatly exaggerated), Gaming-fans.com is pleased to announce that kicking off that schedule of new characters will be two from the Old Republic – Bastila Shan (Fallen) and Canderous Ordo. Both will be members of the Dark Side faction and of course the Old Republic faction with Dark Side Bastila joining the Sith and synergizing well with Emperor Palpatine, Count Dooku, Darth Nihilus and Darth Sion. Meanwhile, Canderous Ordo will be an Attacker designed to take out enemy tanks whose synergies appear to be in-line with General Kenobi, Darth Vader, Mission Vao and Zaalbar. How the two will be introduced in-game remains to be seen, but my gut feeling is they will be both be in Marquee Events and needed for a February Legend of the Old Republic Ancient Journey event to unlock Dark Side Darth Revan.
Let’s take a look at the kits for both of these new characters which, in time, are likely to continue to shift the META in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes, and don’t miss out on the Best Mods for Dark Side Bastila Shan here at Gaming-fans.com!
