Besides the addition of R2, General Veers is May’s Daily Login character. There have also been a slew of updates to various characters and bundles. Additionally, the Assault Battle: Forest Moon event has been updated and will run in May.
R2 joins Chopper, who arrived in February, as the latest droids in Galaxy of Heroes.
This also mark’s R2’s second appearance in an EA video game since the company inked their Star Wars deal with Disney back in 2013. The astromech appeared in Battlefront’s Death Star DLC as a playable character in the expansion pack’s marquee mode, Battle Station. R2 can also be spotted in the reveal trailer for Battlefront II, likely indicating the character will arrive to a third game later this year.
