Live now: Empire Back in Action - Season 2: Empire Resurgent is Underway
Star Wars: Hunters is back with a new season, titled Empire Resurgent, bringing a host of exciting changes to the popular free-to-play hero shooter.
New Character: K-A0S
The highlight of the new season is the introduction of a brand-new character named K-A0S. This Imperial security droid is available to players through the Arena Pass, fitting perfectly with the season’s Empire-themed additions.
K-A0S is a tank-class character, equipped with formidable abilities such as the Grafted Twin Shields, which can protect allies, and the power to clear control points. However, she has a personal vendetta against the Wookiee juggernaut Grozz, who tore off her arms and now uses them as weapons.
New Map and Ranked Mode
The update also brings a new map to the game, increasing the variety of battle environments. The battlefield is inspired by Dark Vader's castle, complete with fiery lava pits and a Sith monolith. Additionally, a ranked mode has been added, providing a competitive ladder system for those who seek a more challenging experience.
Arena Pass and Rewards
The new season also features a new Arena Pass, offering players the chance to unlock Empire-inspired looks. Progressing through the Arena Pass unlocks a variety of rewards, including Costumes, Weapon Wraps, Victory Poses, Stickers, and more. The Pass also allows for the unlocking of random in-game items.
Current Season and Further Details
The new season of Star Wars: Hunters is currently ongoing, with players able to earn in-game rewards as they play. While specific details on the rewards were not explicitly listed, the inclusion of a character and ranked mode represent significant additions to the gameplay structure.
The battlefield also features the Dark Lord's TIE Advanced Fighter and his healing Bacta Tank, adding to the immersive Star Wars experience.
