The upcoming Star Wars Outlaws open-world adventure from Massive Entertainment is easily one of the most exciting projects on Ubisoft’s upcoming slate, but the French publisher has been somewhat sketchy about when the game may launch. The broad release window we’ve been given in 2024, but recent Ubisoft financial statements hinted an early 2024 release may have been pushed back.
Well, now we have a better idea of when Star Wars Outlaws will arrive, courtesy of the Star Wars overlords at Disney rather than Ubisoft themselves. According to a new Disney blog, Star Wars Outlaws is coming our way in late 2024…
“And for Star Wars fans – Star Wars Outlaws, the open-world Star Wars game is set to release late this year. 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.”
Bring it on I say. The first gameplay footage of Star Wars Outlaws looked quite impressive, and Massive did a good job of bringing a current-gen-exclusive open-world based on existing IP to life recently with Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Granted, Avatar also had some problems (check out my review here) but I suspect Massive will further polish and refine their licensed game formula with their first Star Wars project. Haven’t been keeping up with Star Wars Outlaws? Here are the key features…
- Discover a Galaxy of Opportunity - Explore distinct planets with bustling cities and cantinas before racing across sprawling outdoor landscapes on your speeder. Each planet brings new adventures, unique challenges, and enticing rewards if you’re willing to take the risk.
- Experience an Original Scoundrel Story - Live the high-stakes lifestyle of an outlaw. With Nix by your side, turn any situation to your advantage: fight with your blaster, overcome with stealth and gadgets, or find the right moments to distract foes and gain the upper hand.
- Embark on High-Stakes Missions - Take on high-risk, high-reward missions from the galaxy’s crime syndicates. Steal valuable goods, infiltrate secret locations, and outwit enemies as one of the galaxy’s most wanted. Every choice you make influences your ever-changing reputation.
- Jump Into the Pilot Seat - Pilot your ship, The Trailblazer, as you engage in thrilling dogfights with The Empire and other foes, finding the right opportunities to chase, evade, and attack to get the upper hand.
Star Wars Outlaws is coming to PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5 in late 2024.
