It’s been a hot minute since we heard anything big out of EA’s multiplayer mobile battler Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes, but today’s news suggests we can forget about our past impressions as a new version of the game – complete with an early access phase on PC – is on deck.
“In the Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Early Access, players can look forward to true intergalactic battles filled with memorable Star Wars lore,” EA says. “Now, the Early Access gives more players an opportunity to experience the holotables on PC for the first time. Previously only available to a select few by invitation, Early Access will expand access to all players interested in the PC experience – with smooth 60PFS framerates, antialiasing, button mapping, and more.”
New and returning players from mobile can apparently indulge in the recently revamped newbie experience, which boasts “a complete rehaul of the player quest and rewards system for the journey to max level (level 85),” as well as a “speedier but full SWGOH experience” and a more balanced campaign: “The new progression model allows for a streamlined journey to level 85, opening up the many exciting game modes players can look forward to.”
Most notably for mobile players, EA says you’ll be able to port your progress to PC and Mac thanks to cross-progression, cross-platforminess, and even cross-commerce features, the better to allow you to experience the new version “upscaled through the EA App on PC with smooth visuals and an enhanced layout that come with PC capabilities.”
