Disney dropped a blog post today teasing what the House of Mouse has in store for fans across the next 12 months. Among the things the company reaffirmed was that Star Wars Outlaws is indeed coming this year.
Oddly though, when the blog was initially published, it specifically stated “late 2024” as the release window for Outlaws. However, a few hours later, the post was updated to remove “late” and now simply lists 2024.
Nothing was really shared on the project other than a vague summation. The blog simply teased that players will “explore distinct planets across the galaxy, both iconic and new.”
We were first introduced to the game when Ubisoft unveiled it during Xbox’s 2023 Games Showcase. Set in the time period between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, Star Wars Outlaws revolves around the underground world of the franchise. You play as an outlaw scoundrel by the name of Kay Vess as she attempts a massive heist alongside her companion, Nix.
Developed by Massive Entertainment, the title features a variety of different forms of gameplay. While it’s primarily a third-person action-adventure project, you’ll also encounter stealth, vehicular combat, space combat, and more.
The “late 2024” designation may have been removed from Disney’s blog, but it’s still probably safe to assume that’s the targeted window for Outlaws at this point. For whatever reason, Disney and Ubisoft must just not be ready to formally list the game’s release date as such. Regardless, there’s little doubt we’ll be seeing much more of Star Wars Outlaws in the near future.
