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

Star Wars: Hunters, Zynga's inaugural venture into the Star Wars franchise, is set to close its doors just over a year after its debut on iOS and Android. Launched in June 2024, Hunters quickly captured attention with its unique blend of game show flair and innovative takes on Star Wars archetypes.

However, it has now been announced that Star Wars: Hunters will officially shut down on October 1st, 2025. Before the closure, a final content update is scheduled for release on April 15th, 2025. Players can expect in-game currency refunds and a rerun of certain seasonal events as season three is extended.

Fans eagerly awaiting the arrival of the last hunter, Tuya, will still have the opportunity to experience them in multiplayer mode. Tuya will be introduced in the final content update and will be available to all players at no cost from the start.

The End of the Journey

This announcement may come as a surprise to many, as there were few signs that Star Wars: Hunters was underperforming. Given Zynga's robust standing in the gaming industry, it's likely that broader market factors played a role in the decision to discontinue the game. One possible reason could be the oversaturation of the pseudo-hero shooter genre, coupled with a demographic shift among Star Wars fans, who are increasingly older and may not be as interested in a high-octane multiplayer mobile experience.

For those who haven't yet tried Star Wars: Hunters, there's still time to dive in before the game is shelved. Don't miss out on exploring the game's unique features and characters.
