Star Wars: Hunters to Shut Down Before First Anniversary

Apr 27,25

Star Wars: Hunters has announced its shutdown before even reaching its first anniversary, yet it will still celebrate this milestone before closing its doors. The question remains: Is it worth celebrating the anniversary of a game on its way out?

When Is the Star Wars: Hunters Shutdown?

The servers for Star Wars: Hunters are set to shut down on October 1st, 2025, marking the end of the game's run after just nine months. Players have until April 15th to wrap up Season 5. Zynga, the game's developer and publisher, has planned one last content update for April 15th, introducing a new Support Hunter named Tuya for free. On the same day, in-game purchases will be disabled. Ranked Mode will remain active until the servers go offline, and previous seasonal events will be rerun. If you have any unspent Crystals, make sure to use them as no refunds will be issued.

It Isn’t Shocking

The shutdown of Star Wars: Hunters isn't surprising. The game faced numerous delays since its announcement in 2020 and only conducted beta tests in the SEA and ANZAC regions. The absence of major console support and a tepid reception contributed to its demise. Even the game's design missed the mark by opting for generic original characters instead of leveraging the iconic Star Wars universe.

If you've uninstalled the game but are considering one last playthrough, Star Wars: Hunters remains available for download on the Google Play Store until the shutdown date.
