Enter the action packed world of Star Wars in a turn-based strategy RPG as you battle throughout the galaxy and fight with dark & light side heroes across iconic locations.

In Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, players will battle throughout the action packed galaxy featuring legendary characters and heroes from The Mandalorian, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Star Wars: The Bad Batch and more, including Darth Vader, Grand Master Yoda, The Mandalorian, Obi-Wan Kenobi and more, as they fight with dark & light side heroes across iconic locations.

Players will collect heroes and build unbeatable squads as they discover each character’s ultimate gear and fun abilities to make their squads unstoppable – construct unique combinations of elite teams to test exciting strategies for engaging turn-based combat and epic boss battles.

Players will be able to carry their progression over from the mobile version to the PC version, as the Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes PC release is synced with the mobile version, being that it’s fully cross-platform, cross-commerce and cross-progression compatible. The game is also scaled to PC with higher-quality visuals and an improved layout. The addition of new characters and regular in-game events will continue to expand the holotable experience and increase the roster of playable characters, including the highly-anticipated addition of Jar Jar Binks to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.

EA and Capital Games, in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games invite players to experience the early access PC Early Access for Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. Players can now participate in the PC Early Access, joining a galaxy of mobile players, by following the instructions on the game’s page or by downloading the EA App.

In the Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Early Access, players can look forward to true intergalactic battles filled with memorable Star Wars lore. Over the years, Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes has featured more than 300 heroes and villains from The Mandalorian series on Disney+, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, epic raid bosses, large scale territory battles and regular events to grow the galaxy.
