"Star Wars Outlaws Set to Launch on Nintendo Switch 2"

Ubisoft has officially announced 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.

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 story of Kay Vess, a small-time criminal on the run from 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 kept further details sparse, they did confirm the release date for the Nintendo Switch 2 version, which is a significant update for the Switch 2 Games List. This news comes at a time when American and Canadian gamers are in pre-order limbo due to Nintendo's evaluation of new tariffs introduced by the Republican administration, making any updates on upcoming games a welcome distraction.

The announcement was made during a panel at Star Wars Celebration in Japan, where Ubisoft also teased fans with a glimpse of the upcoming second story pack for Star Wars: Outlaws, titled "A Pirate’s Fortune." In this expansion, Kay Vess teams up with Hondo Ohnaka to confront 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 to the game's growing universe.
