Following on from Zynga's delay of Star Wars Hunters last September, the game upcoming free-to-play multiplayer title has now been delayed again. It was already pushed back to 2022, and now in the latest update, it's been delayed until next year. Yep, it won't be arriving on Nintendo Switch or mobile devices until 2023.
Zynga issued the following statement (below) on social media - stating how it wanted to be able to meet the "high expectations" and provide the "best possible experience", so it's made the tough decision to delay the game:
There has been a soft launch so far, and as noted, the team plans to continue to roll out new content regularly within select soft launch territories. The next update will be within the next few weeks. You can learn more about this upcoming release in our previous post:

After certain horror launch stories, such as Cyberpunk 2077 or Sonic Origins... yes, better take all the time they need.
I was so hyped for this game last spring. But it's been delayed way too long as it is, now it seems like it might be silently dying. Switch 2 will launch first (in 2025)and I don't play mobile
If it's free to play they can delay it indefinitely for all I care.
Man, if that's their top priority for free to play game with a licence, it will be delayed till the cows come home. Maybe they should prioritise making money like all the other ones?
Bah, Zynga.
I’m not proud. Maybe I am a little bit.
Played it on my phone. I wanted to like it but its just so bad!
Eh, ok, my hype for it died a long time ago anyway Lmao.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Hopefully they’re going to take this extra time to include Star Wars characters that people have actually heard of.
@SmileMan64 don't forget Battlefield 2042
Just doesn't interest me in the slightest dispite being big into star wars just zero excitement for this one.
@Orokosaki Yes, because we need the Star Wars galaxy to feel even smaller than it already does. /s
@GrailUK I always see these delay messages as code for 'our mtx store isn't functioning as predatory as we want it to be so we need to make sure that functions as intended before we can launch' kind of thing. Even the most crappy and buggiest of games that launch always made sure the mtx store worked flawlessly. EA and Ubisoft come to mind there.
I say patience.
Free to play and Zynga means it's going to be based around monetisation. Therefore there is zero chance I will touch this.
@TheHighGround patience?
@Brobeans
Yes, Artoo will be along in a few months and he'll release the game.
@TheHighGround WAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOO
