A droid programmed to be a Jedi, a Wookiee wielding dual improvised clubs, and a masked bounty hunter. This looks like fun.
Lucasfilm Games and developer Zynga dropped the gameplay trailer for Star Wars: Hunters today, offering the first substantial look at the upcoming multiplayer, arena-combat game. You can check it out below!
The trailer reveals several playable characters that make for a varied, gloriously zany roster, including:
- Imara Vex, a masked and mysterious bounty hunter seen unleashing a barrage of rockets
- Grozz, a ferocious Wookiee who can rip a boulder from the floor to wield at enemies
- J-3DI, a droid that thinks he’s a Jedi and employs a deadly lightsaber spin move
- Sentinel, a heavy Imperial gunner that calls in reinforcements
- Slingshot, a droideka and Ugnaught combo that makes good use of a shield
- Rieve, a lightsaber-wielding (and throwing) dark-side warrior
- Zaina, a rebel hero who cheers on her squad
- Utooni, a pair of Jawa brothers that stand on each other’s shoulders to wreak havoc, with the skill to quickly assemble a scrap cannon
In addition, the preview shows many of the battlefields in the game, all inspired by iconic Star Wars locales, including Hoth, Endor and more.
