Star Wars: Hunters to Cease Operations in 2025, Final Update Scheduled

• Star Wars: Hunters to close less than a year after launch
• Game shutdown planned for October 2025
• Last content update to roll out in April 2025

Star Wars: Hunters, Zynga's debut venture into the franchise, will cease operations just over a year after its June 2024 release on iOS and Android. The game initially captivated players with its vibrant game show style and innovative takes on classic Star Wars archetypes.

The game is set to close on October 1, 2025, with its final content update arriving on April 15. In-game currency is now refundable, and select seasonal events from season three will be reintroduced as part of an extended run.

Fans awaiting the debut of the final hunter, Tuya, can still enjoy this character in multiplayer. Tuya will launch with the last update and be available to all players at no cost from the start.

Unexpected Closure

The announcement of the shutdown has surprised many, as there were few signs that Star Wars: Hunters was struggling. Given Zynga's robust backing, the decision to end the game suggests deeper strategic factors at play.

The hero shooter genre may have been too crowded, potentially limiting the game’s appeal. Additionally, the core Star Wars audience, which trends older, may not be drawn to fast-paced multiplayer mobile games.
