Star Wars Outlaws Release Date Announced for Nintendo Switch 2

Ubisoft has officially confirmed that Star Wars: Outlaws will be available on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. However, fans eager to dive into this space adventure will need to wait a bit longer, as the game is not set to be a launch title for the new Nintendo handheld. Instead, Star Wars: Outlaws will hit the shelves on September 4, a few months after the Nintendo Switch 2's release on June 5.

For those who haven't yet experienced Star Wars: Outlaws on PS5, Xbox, or PC, the game takes place between the iconic films "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi." Players will follow the journey of Kay Vess, a small-time criminal who finds herself marked for death by a powerful 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 about the game's performance on the Nintendo Switch 2, they did confirm the release date. This news is a welcome addition to the Switch 2 Games List, especially as American and Canadian gamers remain in pre-order limbo due to Nintendo's ongoing assessment of new tariffs introduced by the Republican administration.

The announcement came during a panel at Star Wars Celebration in Japan, where Ubisoft also unveiled details about the second story pack for Star Wars: Outlaws, titled "A Pirate’s Fortune." This add-on will feature Kay Vess teaming up with Hondo Ohnaka to confront Stinger Tash, the leader of the Rokana Raiders. Star Wars: Outlaws: A Pirate’s Fortune is scheduled for release on May 15, offering fans more adventures to look forward to.
