Star Wars Outlaws Set To Release Late 2024

While Ubisoft and Disney previously kept the release date under wraps, a cryptic clue buried within a Disney Parks blog post has finally cracked the code. The blog casually mentions, "Star Wars Outlaws, the open-world Star Wars game, is set to release late this year." This confirms what fans have been eagerly awaiting: a late 2024 rendezvous with Star Wars Outlaws.

So, what can you expect when you jump into this cosmic sandbox? The game thrusts you into the boots of Kay Vess, a rising scoundrel navigating the galaxy's underbelly between Episodes V and VI. Alongside your adorable axolotl sidekick, Nix, you'll explore iconic and uncharted planets, seize opportunities, and carve your own legend.

Remember that stunning gameplay reveal at the 2023 Xbox Games Showcase? Yeah, we haven't gotten over Nix's cuteness either. And the good news keeps coming: developer Massive Entertainment promises a "handcrafted" and "manageable" open-world experience. Think of it as exploring a universe where each planet is roughly the size of two or three regions from Assassin's Creed Odyssey. That's some serious adventure territory, ready for the taking.

But why this specific timeframe? Massive Entertainment explains that the period between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi offers a unique window into the Star Wars universe. With the Empire tightening its grip, the criminal underworld flourishes, creating the perfect breeding ground for Kay Vess's rise to notoriety.

Star Wars Outlaws is set to ignite late in 2024, promising an open-world Star Wars adventure unlike any other. May the Force be with you, space cowboys!
