Star Wars Outlaws Arrives Late 2024 [Updated]
Update: Ubisoft reached out to IGN to say that the "late 2024" timing had been updated to a "correct" release window of 2024. The original story is below.
Star Wars Outlaws, the highly anticipated open world game from Ubisoft, will be released in late 2024.
Though Ubisoft and Star Wars owner Disney had previously remained tight lipped about the release date, a Disney Parks blog post quietly announced the release window, which was previously only confirmed to be sometime in 2024.
"Star Wars Outlaws, the open world Star Wars game, is set to release late this year," the post said. "The game lets you explore distinct planets across the galaxy, both iconic and new. You can risk it all as Kay Vess, an emerging scoundrel seeking freedom and the means to start a new life, along with her companion Nix. If you’re willing to take the risk, the galaxy is full of opportunity."
Star Wars Outlaws was revealed at the 2023 Xbox Games Showcase with a gameplay presentation coming soon after, and fans quickly grew obsessed with the cute axolotl-like Nix.
The game is set between Star Wars: Episode 5 - The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Episode 6 - Return of the Jedi, something developer Massive Entertainment said was due to the criminal underworld thriving at this time.
The developer also confirmed Star Wars Outlaws takes a more "handcrafted" and "manageable" approach to the open-world formula, with one planet being roughly the same size as two or three regions in Assassin's Creed Odyssey.
