Star Wars: Hunters has announced its shutdown before even completing a year, yet it will celebrate its one-year anniversary before the final curtain call. The question arises: is it worth celebrating the anniversary of a game on its way out? While the sentiment might be bittersweet, it's a chance for the community to come together one last time and reminisce about the game's journey.
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's run after just nine months since its launch. Players have until April 15th to wrap up Season 5. Zynga, the game's developer and publisher, is rolling out a final content update on the same day, introducing Tuya, a new Support Hunter, available for free. In-game purchases will be disabled starting April 15th.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
The shutdown of Star Wars: Hunters might not come as a surprise to many. The game faced numerous challenges from the outset. Announced in 2020, it suffered multiple delays and limited beta testing in the SEA and ANZAC regions. The lack of major console support and a tepid reception didn't help its case.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 might have contributed to its lukewarm reception.
If you've uninstalled the game but are considering one last playthrough, you can still download it from the Google Play Store until the shutdown date.
