News Roundup: 6/24/16

Another week coming to a close, another week’s worth of Star Wars gaming news to go over.

Video Games

The Bespin DLC is out now for Season Pass holders and there sure are a lot of new things to try out and explore.

Dengar and Lando have landed and EA has put out an article explaining their abilities and what makes them unique.

In addition to the new heroes, there’s also a chunk of new star cards and two new guns that are also explained in an article on EA’s site.

Along with the DLC came a new game update which changed a lot of things, hopefully for the better. A full breakdown of all the updates in the patch can be found on the official forums.

In addition to that, another update will be coming on Monday to fix some unexpected bugs that popped up, such as Dengar being able to one-hit-kill heroes with his hurricane strike.

Also a new event has been announced for The Old Republic: The Dark vs Light Event starts on June 28.  Seems like you’re encouraged to start a new character, complete specific challenges, and then reap in the rewards.

Tabletop Games

As we draw closer to the Coruscant Invitational, another tournament is finished and we have a winner. The Yavin Open in Birmingham, UK wrapped up with an Imperial victory. FFG has laid out an article about the winner and his list on their site.

Three new adversary decks are now available for the RPGs. These decks are pretty handy if you’re a GM so check them out!

We’ve also just got a new preview for the Inquisitor Villain Pack for Imperial Assault. This guy looks awesome.

He can cleave on targets that are on opposite sides of him. That’s crazy.

Looks like he also comes with a skirmish attachment that should bring Kayn and Sorin back into the game possibly.

The final round of voting for the ships the competitors must use in the Coruscant Invitational is here.

It’s come down to TIE Punisher vs TIE Defender, HWK vs X-Wing, and Star Viper vs M3A Interceptor.

Which ships do you want to see win?
