Star Wars Hunters reveals new Season 4 character

As a new season of Star Wars Hunters finally approaches, the official Zynga Star Wars account has revealed the newest character to enter the arena soon -- and she's just as fierce and creative as you would expect from this unstoppable team of developers.

Get ready to play as Nox, a Zabrak archer with some amazing-looking abilities. In this game, anyone who can glide or fly -- whatever their means of doing so -- is, somehow, far superior to all the rest.

An archer is something I never expected to see in a game like this, especially one set in the Star Wars universe. Then again, none of us expected an Ewok manning an AT-ST or a KX droid armed with shields for hands. The creativity with these characters is off the charts, and really, they are only just getting started.

One of the major advantages Hunters has over a game like Galaxy of Heroes is that they have the creative license to create a nearly endless supply of unique, original characters. Because the backstory behind the game is original canon (if you haven't read Mark Oshiro's Battle for the Arena yet, definitely do that), they're just going to continue creating new combinations of species, weapons, and abilities. In the arena, as the story goes, anyone can be who and what they want to be. A droid can be a Jedi. A pair of Jawas can wield a mini Death Star laser beam. A Wookiee can fight alongside a Trandoshan and emerge victorious.

New details about Season 4 are still emerging, but we do know that Nox and the new Arena Pass are set to arrive next Tuesday, November 26. There's no better time to pick up the game (it's free!) and give it a go for yourself. All hunters are welcome.
