Star Wars: Hunters, despite not even reaching its first birthday, is set to celebrate its one-year anniversary before shutting down its servers. But is there any real reason to celebrate the demise of a game?
When Will Star Wars: Hunters Shut Down?
The official shutdown date is October 1st, 2025, marking a short nine-month lifespan for the game. Players will have a few extra weeks to complete Season 5, which concludes on April 15th.
Developer and publisher Zynga is releasing a final content update on April 15th, introducing a new free Support Hunter, Tuya. In-app purchases will be disabled on the same day. Ranked Mode will remain active until the servers close, and existing season events will be rerun. Players are advised to spend any remaining Crystals as no refunds will be offered.
A Predictable End?
While unfortunate, the shutdown of Star Wars: Hunters shouldn't come as a complete surprise. The game's troubled journey began with multiple delays following its 2020 announcement, with beta testing limited to SEA and ANZAC regions.
A delayed launch, lack of major console support, and a muted reception all contributed to the game's downfall. Even the design choices seem questionable; opting for generic original characters instead of leveraging the rich tapestry of iconic Star Wars characters appears to have been a missed opportunity.
If you're feeling nostalgic or want a final playthrough, Star Wars: Hunters remains available for download on the Google Play Store until the shutdown.
