Star Wars: Hunters Shuts Down Before First Anniversary

Star Wars: Hunters has announced its shutdown before even reaching its first anniversary, yet it will have the chance to celebrate that milestone before closing down. The question remains: is it worth celebrating the anniversary of a game that's on its way out?

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 just nine months after its launch. Players have until April 15th to wrap up Season 5. Zynga, the game's developer and publisher, is releasing a final content update on that date, introducing the new Support Hunter, Tuya, for free. In-game purchases will be disabled on April 15th as well.

Ranked Mode will remain active until the servers shut down, and events from the season will be rerun. If you have any unspent Crystals, now's the time to use them, as no refunds will be issued.

It Isn’t Shocking

While it's sad to see the game go, the shutdown of Star Wars: Hunters isn't entirely surprising. The game faced multiple delays since its announcement in 2020, with beta tests limited to the SEA and ANZAC regions. A lack of major console support and a tepid reception contributed to its downfall.

From a design perspective, the game missed an opportunity to capitalize on the rich Star Wars universe. Instead of featuring iconic characters, it opted for generic original ones, which may have disappointed fans.

If you've uninstalled the game but want to experience it one last time, you can still download it from the Google Play Store until the shutdown date.
