What is Star Wars: Hunters about?
Star Wars: Hunters features multiplayer battles in the planet of Vespaara, where high-intensity, high-stakes battles take place in "The Arena," which features backgrounds that "evoke iconic Star Wars worlds," according to Zynga. Players can select different characters but don't expect iconic ones like Ahsoka or Darth Vader to be playable here as the game instead introduces a fresh roster of new Hunters that fit into different types such as Jedi, Sith, Droids, and Bounty Hunters
