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, the game quickly captured attention with its unique blend of game show flair and innovative takes on iconic Star Wars archetypes.
It has now been confirmed that Star Wars: Hunters will officially shut down on October 1st, 2025. Prior to this, a final content update is scheduled for release on April 15th, 2025. In response to the shutdown announcement, in-game currency is now refundable, and certain seasonal events are being rerun as part of an extended third season.
Fans eagerly awaiting the arrival of the final hunter, Tuya, will still have the opportunity to engage with 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 End of the Journey
The announcement of Star Wars: Hunters' closure came as a surprise, with little prior indication of the game's underperformance. Given Zynga's robust standing in the industry, the decision to shelve the game suggests underlying reasons beyond mere player numbers. One potential factor could be the saturation of the pseudo-hero shooter genre, coupled with a Star Wars audience that is increasingly older and perhaps less interested in high-octane mobile multiplayer experiences.
For those yet to experience Star Wars: Hunters, there's still time to dive in before the game is discontinued. Be sure to explore our tier list of Hunters in SW: Hunters, ranked by class, to enhance your gameplay before the curtains close.
