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

Star Wars: Hunters, Zynga's initial 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, Hunters quickly captured the attention of gamers with its unique blend of game show flair and innovative interpretations of Star Wars archetypes.

It has now been confirmed that Star Wars: Hunters will cease operations on October 1st of this year. A final content update is scheduled to be released on April 15th. In response to the closure, in-game currency is now available for refunds, and certain seasonal events will be rerun as part of an extended third season.

Fans eagerly awaiting the arrival of the last hunter, Tuya, will still have the chance to experience this character in multiplayer mode. Tuya will be introduced in the final content update and will be available to all players at no cost from the start.

The story of Star Wars: Hunters is coming to an end, and this announcement has surprised many, as there were few signs that the game was underperforming. Given Zynga's robust standing in the gaming industry, it's likely that broader factors contributed to the decision to shutter Star Wars: Hunters.

One possible reason for the game's closure might be the oversaturation of the pseudo-hero shooter genre, coupled with a lack of a suitable audience. Considering that the typical Star Wars fanbase is aging and may not be seeking a fast-paced multiplayer experience on their mobile devices, this could have impacted the game's performance.
