Star Wars: Hunters Releases at Last

Video Games

The long-awaited video game Star Wars: Hunters came out today. This mobile and Nintendo Switch game has been talked about since 2021’s Nintendo Direct, but with little to show for it aside from minimal gameplay at an Apple event for the iPad mini. Alongside the game, Lucasfilm and developer Zynga put out a launch trailer that you can see here:

A gameplay trailer was released a few days ago:

Star Wars: Hunters is a PVP (player vs. player) mobile game that’s also available for the Nintendo Switch. Jedi, Sith, and bounty hunters battle each other indiscriminately after the fall of the Empire in this squad-based shooter; as the cinematic trailer says, “enemies one round, allies the next.” Lucasfilm and the video game studio Zynga have been developing this game for years, with some fans speculating that it would never come out. I’m not much of a gamer myself, and if I were, something non-canon like this wouldn’t appeal to me. But the graphics look decent enough.
