Zynga, the publisher behind Star Wars Hunters, has announced the game's closure just nine months after its release. Plans for a PC version on Steam have also been scrapped.
The free-to-play team-based battle arena game, developed by NaturalMotion, launched on Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android in June 2024. IGN's review awarded it a 7/10, noting its enjoyable but ultimately short-lived appeal. This proved prescient, as Zynga cited careful consideration in its decision to end support. The final content update will arrive on April 15th, with the game's servers shutting down on October 1st, 2025.
Zynga assures players that this decision wasn't taken lightly and emphasizes their commitment to providing updates throughout the transition. Season 5 will be extended by three weeks (until March 25th), including events, shop bundles, and the Ranked Season, giving players more time to reach Kyber 1 rank.
The final content update, releasing April 15th, will include the new Support Hunter, Tuya, and additional in-game content. In-game purchases will be disabled after this update. Ranked Mode will continue until the server closure.
The announcement makes no mention of the planned PC version, and its Steam page now indicates unavailability. This marks the end of Zynga's first foray into PC game publishing, a venture initially touted as a response to player demand.
While Star Wars Hunters concludes, several other Star Wars games are in development, including Respawn Entertainment's third Star Wars Jedi title and Bit Reactor's upcoming turn-based tactics game, set to be revealed at Star Wars Celebration 2025.
