At long last, Star Wars Hunters<\/a> is out on Nintendo Switch alongside iOS and Android devices \u2013 and we bet you Star Wars buffs out there are wondering when the game is set in the overall series timeline<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We know exactly when the game is set thanks to the news that it is officially canon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It won\u2019t surprise you to learn that Star Wars Hunters is set in a currently popular time period for the Star Wars franchise \u2013 a gap in the timeline that lends itself to new stories, characters and settings.<\/p>\n

Star Wars Hunters is set in the time period between the end of Return of the Jedi and before the start of The Force Awakens<\/b>. This means it is set between the events of the original trilogy and the sequel trilogy.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, this does mean that it\u2019s unlikely<\/a> we\u2019ll ever see famous characters from outside of the game becoming playable characters or playing major roles in future updates to Star Wars Hunters.<\/p>\n

It would be tricky to realistically add the likes of Mace Windu, Yoda, Darth Vader, and others because of when the game is set.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the new characters are all interesting and so is the game\u2019s setting!<\/p>\n
