Star Wars Hunters will soon be on the prowl and inside the game lie some interesting new maps in Huttball mode, a throwback to SWTOR where battlefields are littered with traps and obstacles.
Perhaps more tantalising for Star Wars fans, particularly those with a fondness for the series’ many video game outings, is the newly revealed Huttball mode, last seen in BioWare’s Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO and now retooled for Hunters’ 4v4 set-up. Here, players go head-to-head on a special battlefield riddled with traps and other hazards, in a bid to score as many goals as possible by getting the ball over the enemy’s line.
Huttball will take place across a range of maps, including the sand dunes of Dusty Ridge, one of two newly revealed stages. The other, The Great Hunt, is designed for Hunters’ Escort mode, and sees teams attempting to escort a massive harpoon from the desert terrain of Tatooine to the forest moon of Endor, all in pursuit of a Gorax.
Hunters arrives on Switch, Android, and iOS later this year.
Exploring the galaxy since 1978, Mark wrote his first fan fiction in '81 and been a presence online since his first webpage Fanta War in 1996. He currently contributes to ILM.com and SkywalkerSound.com, having previously written for Star Wars Insider, StarWars.com, Star Wars Encyclopedia, Build The Millennium Falcon, Starburst Magazine, Geeky Monkey, TV Film Memorabilia and Model and Collectors Mart.
He is a four-time Star Wars Celebration Stage host (the only podcaster to have appeared on every Celebration podcast stage since it began in 2015), the Daily Content Manager of Fantha Tracks and the co-host of Making Tracks, Canon Fodder and Start Your Engines on Fantha Tracks Radio.
