Star Wars: Hunters has announced its shutdown before even completing a year, yet it will celebrate its one-year anniversary before the final curtain call. The question arises: is it worth celebrating the anniversary of a game on its way out? While the sentiment might be bittersweet, it's a chance for the community to come together one last time and reminisce about the game's journey.
When Is the Star Wars: Hunters Shutdown?
The servers for Star Wars: Hunters are set to go offline on October 1st, 2025, marking the end of the game's run after just nine months since its launch. Players have until April 15th to wrap up Season 5, as it concludes on that date.Zynga, the game's developer and publisher, is rolling out a final content update on April 15th, introducing the last new Support Hunter, Tuya, available for free. On the same day, in-game purchases will be disabled, so make sure to use any unspent Crystals as no refunds will be issued.
Ranked Mode will remain active until the servers shut down, and events from the season will be rerun, giving players a chance to enjoy the game's content one last time.
It Isn’t Shocking
The shutdown of Star Wars: Hunters might not come as a surprise to many. The game faced numerous challenges from the outset. Announced in 2020, it suffered multiple delays and only conducted beta tests in the SEA and ANZAC regions. The lack of major console support and a tepid reception further sealed its fate.From a design perspective, the game missed an opportunity to capitalize on the rich tapestry of Star Wars characters, opting instead for generic original characters rather than the iconic figures fans adore.
If you've uninstalled the game but are considering one final playthrough, you can still download it from the Google Play Store until the shutdown date.
