What is Star Wars: Hunters about?
In Star Wars: Hunters, teams of four will square off in fast-paced, competitive matches set across various battlefields inspired by iconic Star Wars biomes, such as the ice planet Hoth and the forest moon of Endor. Fans can choose from a roster of diverse, bombastic Hunters, such as J-3DI, a droid who thinks he is a Jedi, and Utooni, two Jawas stacked atop one another in a trenchcoat. Each Hunter boasts their own unique set of abilities to aid them as they strive for glory in the Arena, the marquee attraction on the new planet of Vespaara.
Star Wars: Hunters features a number of game modes for players to test their mettle, such as Squad Brawl, in which opposing teams will battle to rack up the most eliminations, and Trophy Chase, where competing teams will vie for control of the elusive droid TR0-F33.
âWe are beyond excited to welcome fans across the globe to Vespaara,â Sam Cooper, Zynga VP, said. âWe canât wait for gamers to meet our Hunters and hop into the Arena. There are so many fun twists and winks to recognizable, beloved Star Wars settings, creatures, and themes within our game that we also are eager to see players worldwide get the chance to discover. Canât wait to see you in the Arena.â
Star Wars: Hunters will be available worldwide on June 4 as a free download for the Nintendo Switch, on the App Store, and on Google Play. Star Wars: Hunters does not require a Nintendo Switch Online membership to download and play. Players can pre-register for the game now at StarWarsHunters.com.Â
