Learning that Star Wars: Hunters is a free-to-play game may turn some people off from it already. However, the game seems to be eager to redeem itself with this brand new trailer below:

Basically: throw as many interesting Star Wars characters as possible at each other, and have them fight.

Zynga Star Wars is proud to unveil their new trailer for Star Wars: Hunters on YouTube. This new trailer is an entirely cinematic trailer. It contains no gameplay footage to let us see how the game works or looks. It’s only a cinematic trailer that shows off a pretty varied cast of interesting characters, and hints of the story. It is a pretty good trailer though, despite only containing cinematics. The overall tone reminds me of the Overwatch trailers, albeit shorter and much less detailed.

On top of the trailer, Zynga Star Wars also reveals some key details for Star Wars: Hunters. The game has a rather vague release date of 2022. Nothing more specific than that, I’m afraid. What is specific is what systems the game is for. We can apparently play the game on the Nintendo Switch and on mobile devices only. Maybe more systems will follow in the future. We’ll just have to wait and see they tell us next.

I think they’re all a bit confused about which side they’re on.

Star Wars: Hunters is an upcoming free-to-play game from Zynga. It’s basically a multiplayer arena combat game in a style similar to games like Overwatch. We have no footage of gameplay so far, but screenshots of gameplay leaked to news sites show what seems to be a pretty good-looking game for a free-to-play game.
