Star Wars Hunters Will Be Shut Down Just Over A Year After Launch

One last Star Wars Hunters content update is coming before this game comes to a close later this year

Although the game is shutting down, Zynga has noted that crystal purchases will not be refunded, in part because this 30-day notice is meant to give players enough time to spend their currency before all in-game purchases are disabled on April 15.

Star Wars Hunters Season 5 will be extended by three weeks, and Zynga will re-run events and shop bundles that were previously released. The ranked season will also be extended so more players can hit the Kyber 1 rank. The final update on April 15 will introduce a new support hunter, Tuya, who will be available for free. There will also be one last ranked mode for players to compete in.

The most recent Star Wars console game, Star Wars Outlaws, also had its share of problems, which led Ubisoft to issue several updates to improve the gameplay. The next game in the franchise, Star Wars Eclipse, is reportedly unaffected by the recent layoffs at NetEase.
