"Star Wars: Hunter to End in 2025, Last Update Coming Soon"

Star Wars: Hunters, Zynga's inaugural foray into the Star Wars universe, is set to close its doors a little over a year after its launch on iOS and Android. The game, which debuted in June 2024, quickly captivated audiences with its unique blend of game show flair and innovative takes on beloved Star Wars archetypes.

However, it has been announced that Star Wars: Hunters will officially shut down on October 1st of this year. A final content update is scheduled to be released on April 15th. In light of the closure, players can now request refunds for in-game currency, and certain seasonal events will be rerun as part of an extended third season.

Fans eagerly awaiting the arrival of the final hunter, Tuya, will be pleased to know that they will still be able to experience this character in multiplayer. Tuya will be introduced in the final content update and will be available to all players for free from the start.

The announcement of the game's closure came as a surprise to many, as there were few signs that Star Wars: Hunters was underperforming. Given Zynga's robust standing in the industry, it's likely that the decision to shutter the game was influenced by factors beyond mere performance metrics. One possible reason could be the oversaturation of the pseudo-hero shooter genre, coupled with a shifting demographic of Star Wars fans who may not be as interested in a high-octane mobile multiplayer experience.

For those who haven't yet experienced Star Wars: Hunters, there's still time to dive in before the game is discontinued. Be sure to check out our tier list of Hunters in SW: Hunters, ranked by class, to get the most out of your gameplay experience.
