Star Wars video game developer Lucasfilm Games revealed a brand-new title during the Nintendo Direct presentation that took place in February 2021. It's an all-new multiplayer arena combat game set between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens.
The game will be free to download and will also feature cross-platform play. You don't often see competitive Star Wars games aside from your average shooter, so Hunters looks set to do something completely different with the franchise.

Latest news
We saw a brief glimpse of Star Wars Hunters gameplay at the Disney and Marvel gaming showcase at D23, but nothing new in terms of details. Following a recent delay to 2023, it's still looking far off.
Star Wars day came and went, but sadly there was no new information on Star Wars Hunters. As such, we can only imagine that a release is still quite far away in the future.
Star Wars Hunters has revealed some new characters, maps, and Huttball – a fan-favourite mode from The Old Republic – which is coming to the game.
For those who don't know, Huttball is an 8-on-8 mode, similar to Capture the Flag from most multiplayer games. You can also see two of the new characters joining the game on the image below. This includes Skora (a doctor from the Rodian species, who can heal allies) as well as Sprocket, a tech genius who controls droids for offensive and defensive purposes. Find out more here.

Star Wars Hunters images popped up online thanks to a Facebook ad (via Daily Star Wars Games), giving us a new glimpse at the UI, some of the hunters, and a bit of the customization. There's Storm Troopers, Wookies, Jawas, and what looks like a random assortment of droids and other galactic vagabonds. You'll be able to customize your hunter as well, even down to (apparently) stacking Jawas on top of each other and sending them out to fight.
Still no word on a Star Wars Hunters release date, though.
