There is actually some storytelling going on beyond the fighting, it seems. “Set after the fall of the Galactic Empire, Star Wars: Hunters will connect players in real time to battle in arena settings inspired by iconic Star Wars locales,” a new post from StarWars.com says of the game. “Compete as daring bounty hunters, heroes of the Rebellion and hold-outs of the fallen Empire in an action game that immerses you in fast-paced and visually stunning Star Wars conflict.”
Kind of love that the idea that all these peculiar characters—the Ugnaught riding a painted-up droideka like it’s General Grievous’ wheel bike from Revenge of the Sith is, in particular, a top-tier character design—saw the second Death Star explode and said “well, finally, I’m free to do what I’ve always wanted to in this two-bit galaxy: a career in arena combat.”
Star Wars: Hunters is set to hit mobile platforms and Nintendo Switch in 2022.
