The upcoming free-to-play arena shooter comes to Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android on June 4. Publisher Zynga released its launch trailer on Monday, showcasing the game’s modes and heroes.
Star Wars: Hunters features 13 playable characters, including a Sith assassin, an Imperial Stormtrooper, a Wookie warrior, a Jedi Droid, and a pair of Jawas in a big coat. Players can see them and others in action in the new trailer, which showcases the team-based PVP gameplay. It also offers a look at customization options, showcasing different outfits and weapon skins for the Stormtrooper Sentinel, bounty hunter Imara Vex, and Sith assassin Rieve.
Sentinel goes into combat with a heavy E-Web repeating blaster, letting him hose down foes with a blast of energy. Meanwhile, Rieve can block blaster shots with her lightsaber, throw it for a medium-ranged attack, or pull enemies into melee range with force. The trailer doesn’t offer a good look at Imara Vex’s gameplay, but she also carries a grappling hook and homing missile launcher in addition to her blaster rifle. Other standouts from the Star Wars: Hunters trailer include the sniper Diago and the Jawa Utooni brothers and their scrap cannon ultimate ability.
The trailer also showcased some of Star Wars: Hunters’ game modes. Squad Brawl is a straightforward team deathmatch mode where teams compete to get 20 kills in the time limit. Trophy Case has teams fighting over control of a small golden droid, while Power Control asks teams to secure and defend three capture points. Absent from the trailer is Dynamic Control mode, where teams compete for rotating Control Points.
