Star Wars: Hunters Coming to Steam Early Access with a Full Launch Set for Mid-2025
At its core, Star Wars: Hunters focuses on 4v4 battles, letting players pick from a large roster of characters with their own distinct weapons and abilities. There are pilots, grenade launcher-wearing Pilbush the Ewok; Zabrak Archer Nox; Wookiee Juggernaut Grozz; Dark Side Assassin Rieve; etc. Other characters in the game are Aran Tal, the Mandalorian Vanguard, and Imara Vex, the Unrelenting Bounty Hunter. Each character’s abilities are designed to enhance the fast-paced, tactical nature of the game. Currently, the game offers four modes: Squad Brawl, Dynamic Control, Power Control, and Trophy Chase. Star Wars: Hunters was originally going to feature a version of Huttball from Star Wars: The Old Republic, but that mode was scrapped before launch.
Officially set to officially launch for PC on January 27, 2024, players can register for upcoming playtests for Star Wars: Hunters already, however. The first playtest will take place between December 13-16, 2023, and it’ll be followed by another playtest from January 10-13, 2024. Last but not least, one of the most prominent advantages offered with the PC version includes improved graphics that promise a better visual experience compared to mobile platforms. Cross-play and cross-progression will be fully supported across all platforms, allowing players to carry progress over by linking their Zynga ID account.
In terms of system requirements, Star Wars: Hunters is not particularly demanding. The minimum requirements include a Windows 10 OS, an Intel Core i3 processor, 4 GB of RAM, and 20 GB of storage. For a better experience, the recommended specifications are an Intel Core i5 processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a GTX 660 or equivalent GPU. Players aiming for 4K gameplay will need an Intel Core i5-7500 processor, 8 GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GTX 1060 or equivalent graphics card. It is likely timed to hype up Star Wars: Hunters, which is planned to leave Early Access sometime in mid-2025, and promises a thrilling new addition to the Star Wars video game landscape.
