Star Wars Hunters, the Overwatch-esque squad-based PvP shooter from Zynga coming to Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android, has been delayed to 2024.
Zynga posted an update on X/Twitter, announcing the delay to a generic 2024 without providing anything more specific. The announcement comes a year and four months after the publisher released an incredibly similar post delaying the game to 2023, which is obviously no longer happening.
Star Wars Hunters was delayed to ensure the development team meets "that highest level of quality", Zynga said, but just like last year it didn't offer anything more specific.
What makes the seemingly troubled development even more bizarre is that Star Wars Hunters is already available to some players through a soft launch in select countries. "We are thankful to all of our fans who have played Star Wars Hunters in soft launch and have loved the engagement and enthusiasm for the game shown in our soft launch territories," Zynga said.
"Game delays are frustrating, for both fans and us as developers, but our top priority remains to ensure players have the best possible experience. We continue to strive towards that goal on Nintendo Switch, Android, and iOS devices. Thank you for your understanding and we'll see you in the arena soon."
First announced in February 2021, Star Wars Hunters was originally targeting a release date later that year before being delayed to 2022. Zynga soon released a cinematic and gameplay trailer showing off the playable characters but hasn't made many major announcements, beyond the delays, since.
