What Is Star Wars Hunters?
Hunters is a video game which was released May 14, 2024 and is free to download on the Nintendo Switch. The game is based on the planet of Vespaara where there is an arena in which many competitions are held, including Squad Brawl, Power Control, Trophy Chase and many more. You are randomly selected into a team of four and win various competitions against your rivals. From a daring droid jedi to a scheming rodian chemist, this game introduces you to a wide variety of exciting new characters, but on October 1, 2025 the game will be shut down and unplayable.
Why Is It Ending?
The creators of Hunters, Zynga, gave no specific reason to shut the game down, but it did have a very long development cycle and a lot of money put into it. Zynga must have seen that it was not an immediate success and shut it down. Though it is ending soon, the game gives the players a chance to continue playing, earning, and winning until October 1. All characters were unlocked for everyone, including the new character, Tuya the Twi’lek, along with all of the accessories for all of your characters.
Though Star Wars Hunters will eventually be shut down, fans of this great game will remember its unique characters, stories, and gameplay. So what are you waiting for? Go download and play today while you still have the chance!
