A long time ago (February to exact) in a galaxy not so far away (Nintendo Direct showcase), we saw the announcement of Zynga’s Star Wars: Hunters. The upcoming 4v4 arena battler will be hitting our iOS, Android and Switch screens in the not so distant feature. However, not much has been shown of the game despite a September cinematic trailer. That is until now.
We were introduced to some of the lore and characters in the game, adding extra layers to the Star Wars mythology we all love so much. The game will be set after the fall of the Galactic Empire, and players look to compete in arenas based off of famous locations in the Star Wars universe. Whilst this does sound extremely cool on paper, how well would it translate over to our phones and consoles? It seems we’ve finally got our answer with this new game play trailer. The answer is- still pretty amazing.
Check out the action-packed trailer for yourselves down below. Could this soon be entering the list for the most played Switch games? We certainly hope so.
Star Wars Hunters: Characters And Release Dates
We weren’t kidding right? It does look like we’ve got a rather exciting Star Wars Adventure on our hands here. Let’s just hope the game runs as smoothly as this trailer shows it out to be. This is what the developers had to say on the games official website.
“Join the greatest Hunters from across the Star Wars™ galaxy on the planet of Vespaara where high-stakes competitions are awaiting them in The Arena. Engage in thrilling third person combat to dominate grand battlefields set in a range of adventurous maps that evoke iconic Star Wars worlds. Mix and match teams, use skill, tactics and customize your Hunters to find a winning strategy and reap the spoils of victory in the all-new free-to-play game”.
Obviously, this adds a really interesting new dynamic to the Star Wars gaming world. If the distinct character designs are anything to go by, the game is certainly going to be unique. It’s nice to see a different take on characters within the Star Wars universe, as sometimes they can get quite repetitive. Jedi this, Bounty Hunter that, sometimes its not just the clones that look exactly the same as each other. Whether we’ll see any of the in-game characters make appearances in other media remains to be seen, but we’ll definitely be keeping an eye out.
In regards to the games release date, well it’s currently slated for sometime in 2022. Clearly this a little vague, but we’re sure to have more news on that sometime soon. However, we do also know that the game has had a soft-launch on Android in India, Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia. Be sure to keep an eye on what those countries think of the game so far!
