Star Wars Hunters, the squad-based PvP shooter from Zynga coming to Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android, has been delayed to 2023.
Announced on the game’s Twitter (below), Zynga didn’t give a specific reason for the delay, simply saying Hunters was pushed back to “meet the high expectations we are setting for fans globally and ourselves as developers”.
The development team is “working tirelessly to achieve our vision for Star Wars: Hunters,” the post added. “We understand game delays are frustrating, however, our top priority is ensuring players will have the best possible experience in the arena.”

The game is already available to some players through a soft launch in select countries. The development team promised that this version would continue to be updated regularly until Hunters is fully released.
First announced in February 2021, the game was originally targeting a release date later that year before being delayed to 2022. Zynga released a cinematic and gameplay trailer later in the year showing off the playable characters but hasn’t made many major announcements since.
