Star Wars: Hunters Season 5 Extended—What This Means for Season 6

Star Wars: Hunters Closing Soon – One Final Month in The Arena

It’s the end of the line for Star Wars: Hunters. Zynga has announced that the game’s servers will officially be turned off in one month, marking the conclusion of the short-lived but ambitious competitive arena brawler.


A Galaxy of Missed Potential

Star Wars: Hunters launched with big ambitions: fast-paced, hero-based combat in an arena setting where players could take control of unique characters—bounty hunters, droids, stormtroopers, and even a Jedi or two. The concept blended elements of esports-style hero shooters with the iconic Star Wars flair, promising a new multiplayer experience that could stand alongside big titles like Overwatch or Apex Legends.

Despite this, the game never quite found its footing. Technical hiccups, balancing issues, and limited post-launch content made it hard to build the strong community needed to sustain a live-service title.


One Last Run in The Arena

For those who did dive deep into Hunters, there’s still time to relive the chaos before it disappears forever. The servers remain live until the official shutdown date, giving players a final month to:

  • Revisit favorite characters and classes
  • Queue up with friends for chaotic battles in The Arena
  • Collect any cosmetics or unlockables before they vanish into the void

It’s a bittersweet farewell, but for some, it’s also a chance to appreciate what worked: the colorful art style, the unique roster, and those rare moments when matches felt perfectly balanced.

A Familiar Pattern for Star Wars Games

Sadly, Star Wars: Hunters joins a long list of Star Wars games that never lived up to their potential. While juggernauts like Battlefront II or Jedi: Survivor thrive with massive communities, smaller experimental projects often burn out quickly. The challenge is finding the balance between capturing the magic of Star Wars while delivering the depth and polish competitive players demand.


May The Force Be With Hunters Fans

If you’ve been holding off on giving Hunters one last try, now’s the time. Log in, blast some droids, and grab your place in The Arena before the servers fade into history.

Because when it’s gone, it’s gone.
