“Star Wars Outlaws” is the latest addition to the Star Wars gaming universe! Developed by Massive Entertainment and published by Ubisoft under license by Lucasfilm Games, the game is set between the events of “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of the Jedi.” Players will embark on an adventure as outlaw scoundrel Kay Vess and her companion Nix, attempting one of the biggest heists the Outer Rim has ever seen.
Featuring a fully open world, “Star Wars Outlaws” promises to offer a variety of gameplay experiences, including stealth and open combat, vehicle combat, space combat, and branching dialogue. Players will explore familiar planets like Tatooine, Kijimi, and Akiva, as well as new locations such as the moon of Toshara, inspired by the Tanzanian savannah.
The development of “Star Wars Outlaws” began with Ubisoft’s announcement in January 2021, and it’s being led by game director Mathias Karlson and creative director Julian Gerighty. The game’s focus on story and open world has generated significant excitement among fans. With a scheduled release date of August 30, 2024, for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S, “Star Wars Outlaws” is poised to be a highly anticipated addition to the Star Wars gaming catalog.
However, Ubisoft accidentally revealed the release date of “Star Wars Outlaws” ahead of schedule. The game is set to launch on Friday, August 30, and the Ultimate Edition will include three days of early access along with a Season Pass for additional content and updates at a premium price point. The gaming community is divided amongst themselves if this premium is on value with the additional content.
While the video revealing the release date has been removed, fans were quick to capture screenshots, confirming the date. Although Ubisoft has not made an official announcement regarding the release date, it’s unlikely that the date shown on the Ubisoft Japan YouTube channel will change.
Excitement for “Star Wars Outlaws” is certainly building, especially with the upcoming story trailer released on April 9. Fans can expect more details about the game and other Ubisoft titles to be shared at the Ubisoft Forward event on June 10 in Los Angeles. Additionally, some major titles might be featured on June 7 at the Summer Games Fest.
As fans eagerly await the release of “Star Wars Outlaws,” anticipation continues to grow for what promises to be an immersive and thrilling gaming experience set in the beloved Star Wars universe.
