Ubisoft has so far kept a low profile about the release of Star Wars: Outlaws, but now there appears to be an official time window for the release.
Star Wars: Outlaws from Ubisoft is considered one of the most promising Star Wars titles in the near future, but when can we actually expect the action game? A release was originally planned for the first quarter of 2024, but Ubisoft has changed its plans again in this regard. This became clear from an annual report last year when a “big game” was postponed until the 2024/2025 fiscal year.
It is a fairly open secret that it was Star Wars: Outlaws. This slipped from the first quarter of the 2014 calendar year into the potential release period of April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025. But when exactly is the game coming?
Partner Disney could now have provided significantly more clarity in this regard. On the occasion of the New Year, a new blog entry has been published on the Disney Parks website, highlighting 24 must-do things related to Disney themes in 2024. Star Wars: Outlaws is specifically mentioned along with a reference to the release period.
“Star Wars Outlaws, the open world Star Wars game, will be released late this year,” it reads there, without much room for interpretation. In short: The Ubisoft title is expected to be released in the fourth quarter of 2024 – just in time for the next Christmas shopping season and thus the busy sales season. This in turn would also correspond to the last general information about the fiscal year from the annual report mentioned.
A specific release date is still pending, as is a statement from Ubisoft itself; However, it can generally be assumed that the rights holder Disney is well informed about the plans for the game.
Star Wars: Outlaws was presented during the Xbox Games Showcase in June last year, but since then things have been a little quieter around the promising title. In the game you can explore various planets – including completely new ones as well as iconic ones from the Star Wars series – and have fun with protagonist Kay Vess and her companion Nix. A galaxy full of possibilities awaits you. Thematically, the game is set between the events of “Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back” and “Episode 6: Return of the Jedi”. Massive Entertainment is responsible for the development.
Star Wars: Outlaws is coming to PC, Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5.
The highlight of this year’s Ubisoft show was the open-world game Star Wars: Outlaws. Felix was able to see a large gameplay presentation and speak to two developers.
