Ubisoft has officially announced that Star Wars: Outlaws will be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2, but fans will have to wait a bit longer than expected. Initially slated for a launch alongside the new Nintendo handheld on June 5, the space adventure will now hit the shelves 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 journey of Kay Vess, a small-time criminal who finds herself targeted by a cartel. Our reviewer rated it a 7 out of 10, 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 reveal much beyond the release date for the Nintendo Switch 2, this update is significant enough to add Star Wars: Outlaws to the Switch 2 Games List. Amidst the ongoing pre-order uncertainties for American and Canadian gamers due to new tariffs from the Republican administration, news about upcoming titles for the Nintendo Switch 2 provides a much-needed distraction.
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 expansion will see Kay Vess teaming up with Hondo Ohnaka to challenge Stinger Tash, the leader of the Rokana Raiders. Star Wars: Outlaws: A Pirate’s Fortune is set to launch on May 15, adding more excitement for fans eagerly awaiting the full game's arrival on the Nintendo Switch 2.
