Ubisoft’s upcoming open world Star Wars sport Outlaws appears to be like to be set for a “late” 2024 launch.
Till in the present day, the Ubisoft sport held a a lot wider ranging 2024 launch window. Nevertheless, a Disney Parks weblog submit selling quite a lot of occasions and such for the subsequent 12 months has Star Wars Outlaws listed as arriving in the direction of the tail finish of the 12 months.

You possibly can danger all of it as Kay Vess, an rising scoundrel in search of freedom and the means to start out a brand new life, alongside along with her companion Nix. If you happen to’re prepared to take the danger, the galaxy is stuffed with alternative.”
This newly revealed launch window gives additional compelling proof that Star Wars Outlaws might certainly be the thriller massive sport Ubisoft delayed from releasing earlier than the top of this fiscal 12 months.
Star Wars Outlaws might be one in all my extra anticipated video games of 2024 (being a Star Wars fan, that a lot is to be anticipated). However private fandom apart, having learn a number of current previews for the upcoming launch, I’m feeling cautiously optimistic.
Talking with Kotaku, narrative director Navid Khavari said gamers will be capable of “go from on foot, to speeder, to your ship and simply soar between planets”. It stays to be seen how seamless this can be compared to, say, Starfield’s loading screens.
The developer additionally promised a “deeply immersive Star Wars journey”, which we can be happening with scoundrel Kay Vess within the time between The Empire Strikes Again and Return of the Jedi. Kay, it’s value mentioning, will not be a Jedi, and I’m wanting ahead to this extra ‘scrappy’ gaming expertise.

Do not feel too overwhelmed by this information, although. Regardless of its open world, Star Wars Outlaws will not be a “300 hour epic unfinishable RPG”, the developer has mentioned.
