New Hunters

Brace yourselves! New Hunters are entering the Arena. Welcome Sprocket and Skora. Team up with these two new Hunters and set the Arena ablaze with explosive excitement. Skora and Sprocket are here to play… and win.

Expanding Soft Launch

We are excited to announce that the Star Wars: Hunters™ soft launch is expanding. The game is now available in Mexico and Brazil, as well as having both Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese language support added.

Star Wars: Hunters is also now launching on supported iOS devices in our soft launch countries.

New Game Mode - Huttball

The galaxy’s favorite sport, Huttball, has arrived in Star Wars: Hunters™, and this Squad-vs-Squad match brings teamwork to the next level. We are excited to see how players get on in this game mode during soft launch.

New Cosmetics

Update 0.12.1 sees a range of new cosmetics added to the game. The existing roster of Hunters will gain up to five additional costumes and four additional weapon wraps with some Hunters also getting new intro animations and victory poses.

Sprocket and Skora will each have two intro animations and victory poses, as well as a selection of costumes and weapon wraps.

New Maps

Four new maps have been added! One will have you hiding behind the trees shaking in your boots or in pursuit of rival Hunters. And another will take you to the sandy dunes of Vespaara and inside the latest Huttball Arena.

Progression Update

Following on from the introduction of Hunter Progression in our last update, we have made a series of changes and improvements to the progression system.

We have extended progression for each character, with the upper limit now being level 25. Some of the rewards from Fame levels 1-15 have changed from currency based rewards to cosmetics/modules. Players who have already earned Hunter Fame levels will have the new rewards unlocked and can claim them from the rewards screen.

In addition to Hunter progression, player progression has now also been added with its own levels and rewards. Hunter tokens achieved in-game can now also be spent on unlocking new Hunters.

Now is the time to master the Arena like never before!
