Star Wars Outlaws Release Date
Star Wars Outlaws, a collaboration between Lucasfilm Games and Ubisoft, marks a significant foray into a new realm of gaming: the first-ever open-world adventure set in the Star Wars universe. Since its announcement in January 2021, the anticipation has been building, especially after the first trailer drop two years later, sparking discussions and speculations about the game’s narrative and potential characters.
Ubisoft has set an ambitious target for Star Wars Outlaws, aiming for a release in 2024. As the game will be the first next-gen only Star Wars title, expectations are high to see how Ubisoft leverages the advanced capabilities of the new hardware. Developed by Massive Entertainment, known for their work on Tom Clancy’s The Division and the upcoming Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Star Wars Outlaws is gearing up to be a major release.
While a specific date hasn’t been confirmed, industry patterns and Ubisoft’s typical release schedule suggest a potential launch in the latter half of 2024, possibly around October or November. However, with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor launching in April 2023, Ubisoft might strategically delay Outlaws’ release to avoid overshadowing the former title.
It’s also worth considering Ubisoft’s track record with game development and release. They have previously delayed games like Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora to ensure optimal quality, suggesting that Star Wars Outlaws might also see a delay beyond the 2024 window if necessary.
The game is set to be available on Xbox Series X and Series S, PlayStation 5, and PC. This means players using previous generation consoles will need to upgrade to experience the story of Kay Vess and her companion, Nix, as they embark on an epic heist in the galaxy set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
In summary, while we eagerly await a more precise release date, the broad target for Star Wars Outlaws is set for 2024. This window aligns with Ubisoft’s fiscal year ending in March 2024, though the possibility of a delay for further polishing remains. As the gaming community looks forward to this adventurous leap into a galaxy far, far away, all eyes are on Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment to deliver a Star Wars experience like no other.
