\nThere’s a bit of bad news for anyone looking forward to the arrival of free-to-play arena shooter Star Wars: Hunters; developer Zynga has announced it’s delaying the game’s full release into 2023 in order to ensure it “meets the high expectations we are setting”.\n<\/p>\n

\nAnnouncing a second delay for the game’s full release on Twitter<\/a>, Zynga explained, “We are working tirelessly to achieve our vision for Star Wars: Hunters. Our ambition is to create a competitive battle arena game that will entertain for years to come. To ensure we meet the high epgetation we are setting for fans globally and ourselves as developers we have made the decision to delay the worldwide launch of Star Wars: Hunters [to 2023].”\n<\/p>\n
