Star Wars Hunters release date estimate
Zynga has now confirmed the Star Wars Hunters release date for 2024 following on from a string of yearly delays since 2021. The announcement of the 2024 release window came in November 2023, but wasn’t accompanied by any set date or month. This means that, in all likelihood, Star Wars Hunters will be available in the second half of the year, and we should get a reveal of the official release date in the coming months.
What is the Star Wars Hunters gameplay style?
In the same vein as Team Fortress 2 and Overwatch, Star Wars Hunters is a team-based PvP shooter where the player takes control of a character from damage, tank, and support classes. The player’s team battles against the opposing team to try and control the Arena on the planet Vespaara, which is where the game is set. These battles will take place on seven potential battlegrounds, which are a rotating selection of maps with different terrain and details.
