Star Wars: Hunter shutting down in late 2025, final content update next month

by Penelope Mar 19,2025

Star Wars: Hunters, Zynga's mobile entry into the Star Wars universe, is closing its doors on October 1st, 2024, less than a year after its June 2024 launch. This announcement, arriving after a period of seemingly positive reception, has surprised many. A final content update, including the release of the new free-to-play hunter Tuya, is scheduled for April 15th. Players will also receive refunds for in-game currency and a rerun of select seasonal events as Season Three is extended.

The game, which blended game show aesthetics with unique Star Wars character designs, quickly gained attention upon release. However, its relatively short lifespan raises questions about its performance and market positioning. One possible explanation points to market saturation in the mobile hero shooter genre, potentially failing to capture a significant portion of the broader Star Wars fanbase, which skews older and may not be as engaged with high-octane mobile multiplayer experiences.

Despite its impending closure, players still have time to experience Star Wars: Hunters before October 1st. For those interested, a tier list ranking Hunters by class is available to help guide your gameplay. Don't miss this final opportunity to jump into the action!
