According to official sources Star Wars: Outlaws from Ubisoft is set for a 2024 release. Some official Disney Parks literature had said late 2024 it was learned. However, IGN were contacted by Ubisoft to clarify for now it is simply 2024, not necessarily late 2024. Check out the social media post from IGN below.
Update: Ubisoft reached out to IGN to say that the "late 2024" timing had been updated to a "correct" release window of 2024.

So excluding delays Star Wars: Outlaws from Ubisoft will be released this year folks. However, anyone who follows game development even casually knows that delays are far more common in this industry, sometimes close to the official release date. If a game isn’t ready, it’s not ready. Therefore, whilst 2024 is currently the official release window, I would not be surprised to see it slip into 2025. Just saying folks.
RELATED: Star Wars: Outlaws Gameplay Trailer And Thoughts
Certainly the footage we saw in the trailer linked in the related section above looked kinda finished. However, the keen eyed can see there is still a lot of work to go into that game. One of the games big selling points was the ability to get in a ship, fly into space and then do a hyperspace jump to another planet you can land on. Whilst it looked decent enough in the trailer, I will reserve judgment until it’s in players hands. As you can see from my article linked above I was a little critical if the dense fog/cloud used to disguise the transition between atmosphere and space.
I guess we may have less time to wait to get our hands on it than fans first thought?
What do you think of this news that Star Wars: Outlaws is set for a 2024 release? From what you’ve seen so far, do you think Outlaws will be a game you’ll pick up? If not, why not? Thoughts below as always.
