The long-delayed Star Wars: Hunters finally has a new release date. Back in 2021, Lucasfilm Games and developer Zynga announced Star Wars: Hunters, a squad-based arena shooter set after the fall of the Galactic Empire at the end of the original Star Wars movie trilogy. Players can choose from characters like Rieve, a dark-side-empowered warrior, a lightsaber-wielding droid called J-3DI, and even Utooni, a pair of junk-scavenging Jawas stacked together. Each of these characters has their own unique abilities, which will come in handy during frantic battles across several classic Star Wars locations.
New Apex Legends Update Fixes Frustrating Issues

Respawn Entertainment has just released a highly demanded update for Apex Legends, aimed at restoring players’ missing Breakout Legend Challenge progress. Many Apex Legends gamers experienced issues after recent patches to the game, which left them with lost progress and reset accounts.
New to Season 20, Breakout Legend Challenges allow players to permanently unlock several legends after completing a series of tasks with each character. However, the recent April Fools' update seemed to bring not only a medley of Mozambique-themed mayhem but a host of bugs and issues as well. Players began to report lost challenge progress for previously unlocked legends, while others experienced glitching badges and disappearing cosmetics. Some unlucky gamers even logged in to find their Apex Legends accounts entirely reset. Respawn quickly took servers down to address the issues — its transparency over the crisis garnering praise from the Apex Legends community — but some gamers still faced problems over a week later.
Arriving just days after a previous patch fixed Apex Legends players’ missing ranked progress, the latest update should finally restore lost challenge progress to affected players. Seer, Fuse, and Rampart should now all be available to play for everyone who previously completed their respective Breakout Challenges. Mad Maggie, the fourth of the seven unlockable Breakout characters, was not mentioned in Respawn’s patch notes and was presumably unaffected by the recent bugs. Apex Legends fans will hopefully be able to breathe a sigh of relief knowing that their hard-earned rewards have been restored.
On top of the many recent bug fixes, Apex Legends players also enjoyed another surprise this week. As thanks for the community’s patience while it dealt with the data recovery process, Respawn awarded eight free Apex Packs to all players, giving them a chance to earn extra cosmetics and Heirloom Shards. All players who log into the game by April 24 at 10 AM PT will have their free packs automatically added to their account.
Alongside the eagerly-awaited bug fixes, Respawn has also introduced some minor but much-needed quality-of-life tweaks in the new update. Caustic will no longer be slowed by an enemy Caustic’s gas traps. Some invisible walls on the map Broken Moon have also been removed for Nintendo Switch players, while the final circle will thankfully no longer spawn over lava on World’s Edge. Translocating thief Loba also became the newest playable Breakout Challenge character this week. The winged avenger Valkyrie will then be the final legend to unlock before Season 21 begins on May 6 – rumored to be bringing with it a new map and Apex Legends character.
