Update, January 3:The mention of a ‘late’ 2024 release forStar WarsOutlawsin the original Disney Parks blog post has now been removed. Furthermore, a Ubisoft spokesperson confirmed in a statementsent to PC Gamerthat the information published was incorrect, and thatStar Wars Outlaws' release information remains unchanged.
Original story:
Star Wars Outlawshas quietly received a new, slightly more specific release window of “late” 2024.
According to a new Disney Parksblog post(spotted byIGN), the first open-worldStar Warsgame from Ubisoft “is set to release late this year,” which narrows things down slightly from the initial promise of a 2024 release.
Ubisoft hasn’t revealed the new launch estimate itself, so it appears Disney may have unveiled the news earlier than planned, although that’s not been confirmed. The blog post also doesn’t offer much more information than that but does include a newer description, which reads: “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 Outlawswasunveiled back in June 2023 during the Xbox Games Showcase. The game is being described as an action-adventure game and will be story-driven like Respawn Entertainment’sStar Wars Jedi: Survivor.
