If it’s details you’re looking for, look no further than what may have been Nintendo’s biggest reveal of the day: the much-demanded arrival of an HD-enhanced Zelda gaming classic for the Switch. Set after the fall of the Empire between the movie events of Episodes 6 & 7, the multiplayer fighter “draws inspiration from classic Star Wars stories and settings, but with a look and feel that is different from anything we have done before,” Lucasfilm Games VP Douglas Reilly explains at the official Star Wars website.ĭetails are still slight, but Star Wars Hunters is being pitched as a “free to download” game, and it’s expected to touch down on the Switch (as well as Apple’s App Store and Google Play) sometime later this year. Hunters will arrive as one of the first new Star Wars games announced since Lucasfilm rebranded its gaming division under the new Lucasfilm Games banner, and it’s apparently meant to be viewed as a bona fide addition to the overall canon - at least on the gaming side of things.
