Star Wars: Hunters was first announced<\/a> for Switch during a Nintendo Direct in February, but it\u2019s also coming to Android and iOS. Today\u2019s Apple Event provided an unexpected stage to premiere the first look at gameplay for the free-to-play competitive action title.\u00a0We also got a look at a new cinematic trailer that provides a decent setup for Hunters’ premise.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Let’s start with the fancy trailer, which depicts a chaotic free-for-all between a sith warrior, a bounty hunter, a Wookie, a robotic Jedi, Jawas, among others. These hunters compete in team battles within\u00a0The\u00a0Arena, located on planet\u00a0Vespaara. We don’t know anything about these characters individually, but Hunters’ narrative occurs after the Empire\u2019s fall in Return of the Jedi <\/em>and before The Force Awakens<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

While the cinematic is sharp, today’s Apple Event provided a brief look at actual gameplay. The short clip, which you can watch in the embedded tweet below,\u00a0showed the\u00a0red lightsaber-wielding character engaging in third-person, over-the-shoulder melee combat. This avatar slices through the Wookie opponent (presumably another human player), including throwing her lightsaber. It definitely looks to fit the bill of what you might expect from a\u00a0free-to-play action game, but we\u00a0still don\u2019t know much about Hunters’\u00a0multiplayer in terms of modes and\u00a0progression.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Star Wars: Hunters is being developed by Zynga and still doesn\u2019t have a release date, but it\u2019s now\u00a0scheduled to launch sometime in 2022 after originally being announced for this year. You can pre-register for the game now to unlock exclusive (and unspecified) in-game content.\u00a0<\/p>\n
