When is Star Wars Outlaw releasing? Release window revealed

While there’s no official release date that was given as of this writing, there is a time window. According to the trailer revealed during the Xbox presentation at Summer Game Fest, Star Wars Outlaws is coming in 2024. Ubisoft may give further information at its own event, which is set to take place on June 12, 2023.

When is Star Wars Outlaws set in the timeline?

This is another mystery, but the trailer may have shone some light on where the game takes place in the timeline. The only technology shown in the Star Wars Outlaws' trailer appeared to be from the Galactic Civil War (Episodes IV, V, VI). In particular, the starship battle revealed could be from the Battle of Endor. The game could also take place near Jedi Survivor in the timeline.

Given the blue planet, the Mon Calamari Star Cruisers, the Imperial Star Destroyers, and the TIE Fighters, it’s likely that it takes place in the later days of the conflict between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire.

In addition, Jaelen, one character shown in the trailer, is similar to the Human Smuggler from Star Wars Galaxies, who was also active during the Galactic Civil War era of the timeline.

Is Star Wars Galaxies coming to Game Pass Day 1?

Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to be the case. When a title is coming to Game Pass, it will almost always be mentioned at the end of a trailer, but in this instance it was not. Thus, fans should not expect Star Wars Outlaws to be a Day 1 Game Pass offering.

Star Wars Outlaws is coming in 2024, and fans can look forward to more on the title on Sunday, June 12, 2023, during the Ubisoft Forward presentation at Summer Game Fest.
