Watch 1st 'Star Wars: Hunters' gameplay trailer ahead of June 4 launch (video)

We can't wait for Star Wars Outlaws, the first true open-world Star Wars video game, to arrive on PC and consoles later this year, but meanwhile, Lucasfilm Games and Zynga are finally allowing fans with a Nintendo Switch or a mobile phone (Android and iOS) into Star Wars: Hunters on June 4, the same day The Acolyte premieres on Disney Plus.

The long-tested game is an accessible third-person, player-versus-player online game in the vein of Overwatch and other modern hero shooters. Fans have known for a while (Zynga has delayed Hunters' full launch time and again) that it all takes place on the planet of Vespaara, where sports-like battles happen in an ever-changing arena which evokes iconic Star Wars worlds and locations with a twist. On top of raw fighting skills and strong teamwork, players must find the right team configuration and tactics to fight other competitors and rise to victory.
