Ubisoft has confirmed that Star Wars: Outlaws will be making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2, although it won't be available at the console's launch on June 5. Instead, fans can look forward to diving into this space adventure on September 4.
For those who haven't experienced Star Wars: Outlaws on PS5, Xbox, or PC, the game is set in the timeline between "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi." It follows the story of Kay Vess, a small-time criminal who becomes a target of a cartel. Our review scored it a 7 out of 10, praising it as "a fun intergalactic heist adventure with great exploration," but noted drawbacks including "simple stealth, repetitive combat, and a few too many bugs at launch."
While Ubisoft remained tight-lipped about further details, they did confirm the game's release date on the Nintendo Switch 2, which is a significant update to the Switch 2 Games List. This news comes as a welcome distraction for American and Canadian gamers who are currently in a pre-order limbo due to new tariffs introduced by the Republican administration, as Nintendo assesses their impact.
The announcement was made during a panel at Star Wars Celebration in Japan, where Ubisoft also unveiled the second story pack for Star Wars: Outlaws, titled "A Pirate’s Fortune." In this add-on, players will see Kay Vess ally with Hondo Ohnaka to confront Stinger Tash, the leader of the Rokana Raiders. "Star Wars: Outlaws: A Pirate’s Fortune" is set to release on May 15, offering fans more adventures to look forward to.
