Star Wars Outlaws Launch Date Unveiled for Nintendo Switch 2

Ubisoft's highly anticipated game, Star Wars: Outlaws, will be available on the Nintendo Switch 2 but will not launch alongside the console on June 5. Instead, fans can expect its release on September 4. Set between the iconic films The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, the game follows Kay Vess, a small-time criminal with a dangerous bounty on her head. Despite receiving a 7 out of 10 from reviewers, praising its exploration, the game was criticized for its simplistic stealth mechanics and repetitive combat. In addition to this news, Ubisoft also announced an upcoming story pack titled A Pirate’s Fortune, scheduled for release on May 15, where Kay teams up with Hondo Ohnaka to battle Stinger Tash.

Star Wars: Outlaws is a significant addition to the Star Wars gaming universe, taking place within the rich lore established by the original trilogy. Fans of the franchise can look forward to experiencing more immersive storytelling and character development as they control Kay in this intergalactic heist adventure. This game seeks to expand the Star Wars narrative and provide a fresh perspective on the galaxy far, far away, appealing to both longstanding fans and newcomers to the series.
