I thought it'd be fun to prognosticate a little this afternoon. With the recent announcement of the character release cadence, a Darth Nihilus character release event, PLUS two other dark side characters being released, there's a lot to be excited about.What two dark side characters do you predict, and why? I'll leave my NostraYoda predictions of the future below.Easy prediction - a new Bounty Hunter will be released. With Boba's recent rework and hype, there are still a couple support-type tasks missing from the Bounty Hunters a stand-alone and viable faction. NostraYoda predicts Bossk revealed and released this month as a high-health taunting tank.Wild Prediction - NostraYoda predicts we will see our first Separatist leader released this month. The timing seems right, considering the Separatist event going live soon. Admiral Trench will be released as a support toon with a Separatist leader ability and a Capitol Ship.BOOM! Let's hear some other ideas!

I like those predictions, and I think they both make too much sense for either to be a Wild Prediction.

I still think it'll be the sith triumvirate together

Sadly, generic Sith characters also makes sense since we have generic Jedi characters. The only generic character I would actually look forward to is Mandalorian Warrior, or whatever they would call it. But only after a Jango release, or Sabine release.

Would assume it would be some generic sith apprentices. Sion and Kreia are a bit to iconic chars to all be released in one go. Thats like releasing Jedi Luke, General Kenobi and Jedi Rey in a week.

Three dark side characters this month, Nihilus confirmed... speculations about the other two?

Until we get confirmation they are def going to be new characters, I will continue to suggest that one can easily read the update as 2 other 'exisiting' DS character shards. (ie Maul and Savage)

Sorry I must be blind but where did the devs mention Nihilus and 2 other dark side characters?

So, they did not specifically say that they'd be 2 new dark side characters. Could be Deathtrooper shards or something.

That being said I wouldn't be surprised to see a generic "Sith Assassin" or "Sith Inquisitor" to make an appearance. Both are pretty classic KOTOR, and fit the Nihilus event theme.

Alternatively it's possible we could see Visaas Mar, or Sion. Both pair well with Nihilus. (Maybe Han-har as a dark side bounty hunter).

Yeah, I think this is a very real possibility.

Kreia and Darth Sion is what I'm hoping for
