Star Wars Outlaws, an upcoming open-world game from Ubisoft, has been confirmed by Disney for a late 2024 release.
This detail was first revealed in a January 2 blog post on the Disney Parks website, as spotted by IGN. While primarily a website focused on upcoming attractions and events for the theme parks, it mentioned the game's launch timeframe.
Upon reaching out to Disney, IGN learned that Star Wars Outlaws' release window remains broader than "late 2024", saying that fans can still expect it come out anytime between today and December 31.
The late 2024 release period for Star Wars Outlaws aligns well with the holiday season, a strategic choice as it allows Disney and Ubisoft to capitalize on the Christmas period. However, there remains a possibility that Ubisoft could delay the game's release to 2025. In its latest earnings report, Ubisoft mentioned the need to push a "large game" to its 2025 fiscal year, which runs from April 2024 to the end of March 2025. Although not explicitly named, Star Wars Outlaws is pointed to as the biggest candidate for this. Thus, any last-minute setbacks could potentially push its release to 2025 if not even later.
