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 in teams of four. “Our teams at NaturalMotion and Boss Alien are excited for fans to enter the fray and compete for galaxy-wide glory in the Arena next year.” “Today’s gameplay reveal gives players their first look at the Hunters in action, showcasing eight of the dynamic characters which will be available at launch,” said Bernard Kim, President of Publishing at Zynga. Highlighting each individual combatant’s unique fighting style – Rieve and J-3DI’s lightsaber wielding expertise, Zaina and Sentinel’s deadeye blaster accuracy, Imara Vex’s arsenal of bounty hunting weaponry, Grozz’s brute strength, the cunning tech of Slingshot’s droideka and Utooni’s resourceful use of scavenged scraps – the Arena becomes their stage for epic 4 x 4 battles. Today’s trailer showcases a selection of the competitive arenas and the diverse roster of Hunters fighting for glory within Vespaara’s in-game sporting complex. While I suspect that only die-hard Star Wars fans would stick with this show, I find it entertaining and will keep coming back for more.Zynga and Lucasfilm Games today debuted the first gameplay trailer for the upcoming competitive arena combat game Star Wars: Hunters.Ĭoming to Nintendo Switch and mobile devices in 2022, the game has entered soft launch on Google Play for Android devices in select markets and will be available in soft launch on the App Store early next year.
Bottom line: The central characters, impressive visual effects, and meticulous attention to detail all help make this show fantastic. And of course, the lighter moments provided by Grogu, along with many of the droids and aliens, all contribute to the show's mass appeal. Notable performances by Pedro Pascal, Katee Sackhoff, and Emily Swallow, are some of the strongest aspects of the series, adding layers and interest. Despite these criticisms, the show's exceptional production quality and skillful Western sci-fi storytelling create a captivating experience.
Additionally, some of the supporting characters are not given enough depth, leaving viewers wanting more from their narrative. That said, I do believe that most of these episodes help to develop our lead hero, albeit subtly. As a heads-up to new viewers, some of the show's stand-alone episodes can feel uneventful and lack the same impact as the overarching story arc. "The Mandalorian" is a commendable sci-fi series, but it's not quite a Jedi (or a perfect 10) yet.
