Zynga Inc and Lucasfilm Launch Star Wars: Hunters Season 2

— August 1, 2024 — Tech
Zynga Inc and Lucasfilm launch the second season of Star Wars: Hunters today. The official launch of the battle arena game builds on team-based entertainment. This second season of content comes packed with new updates and exciting new Hinter, K-A0S, a KX-series security droid that has Imperial surplus riots shields, and the new Tank class character who will be stepping into the arena. In addition to K-A0S' introduction, the new battlefield Vader's Castle is complete with influences from Mustafar.

The key elements of the volcanic area are translated through the integral design as empire-themed cosmetics are introduced as rewards and available for purchase as store bundles for existing players. Scott Warner, design director notes “We’ve been blown away by the response to Star Wars: Hunters so far and can’t wait for fans to see all of the updates we have in store for Season 2. From our latest Hunter, K-A0S, to our new Clash Event and Vader’s Castle battlefield, there is a ton of great gameplay updates and imagery that invokes the Galactic Empire across this season.”
