Details are still scarce. What we know is that Hunters is a competitive, third-person shooter set in the Star Wars universe. It takes place after the fall of the Empire, and it will have squad-based multiplayer combat.

Zynga is best known for Facebook and mobile games, but it is now apparently bringing its wares to the Switch.
