Zynga's Star Wars: Hunters finally arrives in June after years of delays

Zynga’s free-to-play 4v4 arena shooter Star Wars: Hunters finally has a release date after years of delays, with the game now set to arrive for Switch, iOS, and Android on 4th June.

Star Wars: Hunters was originally announced all the way back in March 2021, when it was planned to launch later that year. 2021 turned to 2022, however, which turned to 2023 after Zynga announced another delay to ensure the game met “the high expectations we are setting”. And then, whoops, it slipped yet again into 2024.

But now, a little over three years since it was formally unveiled, Star Wars: Hunters finally has its first proper, actual release date – alongside details of what it’ll include come launch day.

On release, Star Wars: Hunters will feature three classes – damage, support, and tank – plus five battlefields playing host to the game’s 4v4 third-person action. There’s the Ewok village, the Dune Sea Outpost on Tatooine, Death Star Crossfire – plopping players into the fray as X-wings and TIE fighters swoop on in – plus Vandor Railyard, set on an Imperial Railcrawler Facility nestled deep in the mountains.
