Earlier this week, he was added to the Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes\u00a0mobile game as part of its \u201cEra of the New Republic\u201d update alongside\u00a0Mando\u00a0co-stars Colonel Ward, Grogu, and the Anzellans. In-game, Rotta is a heavy hitter who can go it alone as a gladiator or get some bonuses if he\u2019s got Hutt Cartel allies by his side. The devs have a full breakdown of his for you to read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ea.com\/games\/starwars\/galaxy-of-heroes\/news\/era-of-the-new-republic-kit-reveal-part-2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>, and maybe the game will help you get in the Rotta mindset while waiting for your costume to be delivered.<\/p>\n<p>Want more io9 news?
