What is worth waiting for? The often postponed Star Wars Hunters has been given a new release date and is finally scheduled to appear in the summer.
Star Wars fans who had their eye on the arena shooter Star Wars Hunters had to be patient for a long time. The action-packed multiplayer title was originally announced by Lucasfilm Games and developer Zynga in 2021 and was actually scheduled to be released the following year. As is well known, nothing came of it – quite the opposite.
First, after a test run and soft launch at the end of 2021 in Malaysia, Taiwan, New Zealand, Australia and the Philippines, the launch was postponed from 2022 to 2023, followed by further postponements until 2024. But the makers haven’t announced a new release date – until now!
In the meantime, one thing is certain: The squad-based arena shooter Star Wars Hunters is now scheduled to be released relatively soon in a month on June 4, 2024. The launch is then planned for the Nintendo Switch, and the title is also known to appear on mobile platforms. Pre-downloads via Nintendo eShop are also possible.
Thematically, this title is set after the fall of the Galactic Empire at the end of the original Star Wars film trilogy. You can choose from various characters, including Rieve, who faces the dark side of the Force, or a lightsaber-wielding droid named J-3DI. Each character in the game has their own unique abilities that you must use in battle.
