During the latest Nintendo Direct, Lucasfilm Games and Zynga revealed a teaser trailer for Star Wars: Hunters, a new game launching this year for the Nintendo Switch and on mobile devices.
Star Wars: Hunters will be free-to-download on the Nintendo Switch, as well as on the App Store and Google Play. Moreover, the Switch version does not require a Nintendo Switch Online membership to download or play. Set after the fall of the Galactic Empire, the game "will bring players together to engage in thrilling, squad-based, multiplayer battles featuring a diverse array of distinctive new Star Wars characters."
"Bringing Star Wars: Hunters to the Nintendo Switch and its passionate fan-base marks an exciting milestone for Zynga," said Zynga President of Publishing Bernard Kim. "We created Star Wars: Hunters for every fan who has ever dreamed about playing a high-intensity action game set in the Star Wars galaxy and are excited to see Switch players embrace our foray into console gaming."
"We are delighted that Zynga is bringing their first console game, Star Wars: Hunters, to Nintendo Switch,” added Nintendo of America Senior Vice President of Publisher and Developer Relations Steve Singer. "We look forward to Nintendo Switch players around the globe experiencing this world-renowned franchise in a new way."
"Star Wars: Hunters draws inspiration from classic Star Wars stories and settings, but with a look and feel that is different from anything we have done before," explained Lucasfilm Games VP Douglas Reilly. "We're thrilled to introduce this wildly creative cast of characters to our fans on Nintendo Switch, where they can join with their friends in thrilling battles at home or on the go."
Star Wars: Hunters will release for the Nintendo Switch, Android and iOS sometime this year.
