"Star Wars: Hunter to End in 2025, Last Update Next Month"

Star Wars: Hunters, Zynga's ambitious venture into the Star Wars universe, 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 game show style and innovative takes on classic Star Wars archetypes.

The shutdown is scheduled for October 1st of this year, with a final content update slated for release on April 15th. In response to the closure, players can now request refunds for in-game currency, and the game's third season will be extended, allowing for the rerun of seasonal events.

Fans eagerly awaiting the arrival of the last hunter, Tuya, will be pleased to know they can still engage with her in multiplayer. Tuya will be introduced in the final update and will be available to all players for free from the start.

The news of Star Wars: Hunters' closure came as a surprise, with no prior signs of the game underperforming. Given Zynga's robust reputation, the decision to discontinue the game suggests underlying factors at play. One possible reason could be the oversaturation of the pseudo-hero shooter genre, alongside a shifting demographic of Star Wars fans, who may now be older and less inclined towards high-energy mobile multiplayer games.
