Ubisoft has updated that the “correct” Star Wars Outlaws release window is in 2024 following a recent post on the Disney Parks blog that originally stated a late 2024 launch. Ironically, Star Wars Outlaws had previously already been announced as a 2024 game but it seems that perhaps someone jumped the gun in narrowing down its launch window. IGN caught on quickly to the post and reported on it only to have Ubisoft reach out saying that the post had been updated to the “correct” Star Wars Outlaws window of 2024. Why it would matter is a bit of a vague topic but it could be tied to marketing, contracts, and other licensing product deadlines.
Per Disney Parks:
“Explore an Open-World Star Wars Game
And for Star Wars fans – Star Wars Outlaws, the open-world Star Wars game is set to release in 2024.
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 Outlaws is an upcoming open-world RPG that takes place in between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi that will introduce a new character called Kay Vess. It will be the first new Star Wars game since Electronic Arts’ Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor series featuring Kal Kestis.
