Ubisoft has confirmed that Star Wars: Outlaws will be making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2, though 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. If you 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 journey of Kay Vess, a small-time criminal who finds herself targeted by a cartel. Our reviewer rated it a 7, describing it as "a fun intergalactic heist adventure with great exploration, but it’s hindered by simple stealth, repetitive combat, and a few too many bugs at launch."
While Ubisoft didn't provide extensive details, they did confirm the release date for the Nintendo Switch 2 version, allowing us to update the Switch 2 Games List. This news comes at a time when American and Canadian gamers are in pre-order limbo as Nintendo evaluates the impact of new tariffs introduced by the Republican administration. Any updates on upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 games are a welcome distraction for eager fans.
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, Kay Vess will 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 in the Star Wars universe.
