Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes players will now be able to unlock a new, highly anticipated character, Darth Revan, in the new game update.
EA has announced that the much anticipated Darth Revan has joined the holotables in its popular mobile game app, Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes.
The Scourge of the Old Republic is finally here but only for a limited time. This event cycle lasts until April 1, 2019 so claim the Darth Lord of the Sith while you can.

The Event explores Revan’s Knights of the Old Republic origins in seven phases. The story begins with Revan and Republic soldier, Carth Onasi, crash landing on the planet of Taris after a Sith attack on Revan’s ship. Once on Taris, Revan goes to battle in the Taris fighting arena under the alias “Mysterious Stranger.”
Make no mistake. This is the most difficult heroic event of the game so far but, considering Darth Revan’s monstrous abilities and devastating Sith Empire leadership capabilities, you will probably find the effort worthwhile.
You will need the following characters at seven stars each in order to advance to Tier VII, the final phase, of the Event and unlock Darth Revan:
- Bastila Shan (Fallen)
- Canderous Ordo
- Carth Onasi
- HK-47
- Juhani

Keep in mind that you will likely need to also upgrade each character to Gear Level 11 or 12 in order to successfully complete the Event.
This Event coincides with a necessary game update. Most importantly, the update creates a new faction tag, “Sith Empire” to the game, which will apply for the following characters: Darth Revan, HK-47, Sith Assassin, Sith Marauder, and Sith Trooper. Bastila Shan (Fallen) will no longer be part of the “Old Republic” faction.
Those who were hoping to add Darth Revan to their Sith team can breathe a sigh of relief. Darth Revan is tagged as both “Sith” and Sith Empire,” meaning that players can seamlessly plug in Darth Revan to any popular Sith teams already boasting the likes of Emperor Palpatine, Darth Nihilus, Darth Sion, Darth Vader, and (if your guild is so lucky) Darth Traya.
Additionally, the game update provides a kit rework for HK-47 and Bastila Shan (Fallen).
Good luck and may the Force be with you.
The Scourge of the Old Republic Event is live and will end on 11:00 am PST on Monday, April 1, 2019.
