Star Wars Hunters is finally ready to enter the arena

More than 3 years after it was announced and more than 2 after it was meant to release, Star Wars Hunters will finally release in full on June 4. In celebration a brief new trailer has been released, check it out.

The game was first announced in the 2021 February Nintendo Direct and was due to release later that year, then it slipped into 2022 and then it just sort of went away, at least for Switch. Mobile gamers got the title in Soft Launch form with seasons, new maps, characters and updates. But now the full game will launch on Switch and in all regions on mobile on June 4.

Here is the official blurb about the game:

Following the end of the Galactic Civil War, the bright lights of The Arena burst into life and offer new heroes a platform to shine across the galaxy. Located deep in the Outer Rim on the planet of Vespaara and broadcast far and wide on the HoloNet, the stories and legends of battles that have defined galactic history are brought to life to entertain audiences and create champions seeking fame and fortune in this new gladiatorial spectacle.

The Arena brings together all-new, unique Hunters from across the Star Wars galaxy each with larger-than-life personas, rich undiscovered pasts and ability sets that make them formidable combatants.
