The surprise announcement, detailed in a recent blog post by EA Capital Games and EA Mobile, confirms Embo and Keibu will be integrated into Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. This marks their first appearance in a video game, providing a fresh opportunity for players to command these formidable figures.
Embo and Keibu were introduced to audiences in May 2026 through The Mandalorian and Grogu, a feature film that transitioned from what was originally planned as the fourth season of the beloved Disney+ series, The Mandalorian. While the film garnered mixed reviews and became the lowest-grossing live-action Star Wars movie, these specific characters left an impression, leading to their digital resurrection.
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, launched in 2015, stands as one of the franchise's most enduring and profitable mobile games, having generated over $2 billion in revenue. Its continued popularity makes it an ideal platform for expanding the lore and character roster from across the vast Star Wars galaxy.
In the game, Embo and Keibu will operate as a single, large character unit, categorized as an Attacker/Leader/Bounty Hunter/Hutt Cartel/Mercenary/Scoundrel. Their kit is designed to embody their on-screen persona as a seasoned duo capable of tracking down dangerous targets. According to the official blog post, their introduction reads:
"Embo & Keibu are a new Dark Side Attacker and Leader who bring a coordinated Bounty Hunter Mercenary squad to the hunt. Their kit revolves around stripping enemy buffs, locking down a quarry with Captive, and creating role-based bonus turns for Attacker, Support, and Tank allies."
This strategic design suggests they will be a valuable addition to any player's lineup, capable of turning the tide of battle with their unique abilities and coordinated attacks. For fans of The Mandalorian and dedicated players of Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, the arrival of Embo and Keibu offers an exciting new dimension to their gameplay, bringing a slice of the cinematic universe directly to their mobile devices.
