Heroes of the Galaxy mod for Star Wars Battlefront II

After several months of work, I’m excited to announce my latest mod: Heroes Of The Galaxy! This mod will replace the stock Jedi class with a whole array of different jedi and heroes created by the modding community. These heroes come from the original and prequel trilogies, the Clone Wars TV series, The Bad Batch, Star Wars Rebels, Rogue One, and Solo: A Star Wars Story. In total, there are 51 new characters added to the game, and 85 unique skins.

The hero loaded into your game will be randomly selected each time, allowing for more unique gameplay. The heroes will change for any of the following: all the stock maps, the stock Hero Assault on Mos Eisley, and almost all mod maps where the modder has used stock heroes. It will also work for most Hero Assault maps, but again only where the modder has used mostly stock heroes. Any maps where the modder has used their own mod heroes will remain unaffected. It should also work for Galactic Conquest mode, and will work with most of my Galactic Conquest mods.

Not only that, you’ll be able to decide which groups of heroes you play with. For example, if you’ve never watched Star Wars Rebels and aren’t interested in having those characters in the game, you’ll be able to remove the file associated with Rebels. You’ll be able to choose, by the download, whether or not to have the AI play as the heroes, or leave them exclusively for you (though I personally recommend the former, to get the full enjoyment of the other team having their mod hero).

And for experienced modders, my mod will offer expansion capacity for you to add in your own heroes! This may be a little more complicated than normal hero creation, as they will need to be formatted in the correct way for my mod to read them into the game. Full instructions will be included at the time of release. I may also add expansion packs in the future as more hero conversions are made.

I am very nearly completed with the mod, and I expect to have it released within a few weeks, depending on how much free time I get to work on it. The main jobs I have left to do are localizing and writing up the full credits list, which due to how many heroes are included is pretty extensive. Hopefully this teaser has got you excited for the release though, and I hope to share more with you as I get closer to the release.
